These clever little mitts will keep your hands warm and provide a wee pocket for the bare essentials: stash your key and ID in one mitt, and a gel in the other. Tiny cuffs keep your wrists free for your watch.

This pattern was inspired by my decision to run the 2013 Chicago Marathon in support of the charity Girls on the Run, a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing girls’ self-esteem, confidence, and leadership through play and running games.
