Saskie mitts is matching project for saskie jumper. This design is inspired my little senior bun, saskatchewan.

The mitts are knitted bottom-up and in the round, featuring a stranded colourwork motif throughout. The thumbs are knitted using the afterthought thumb technique. You can choose to “mismatch” your mitts as shown in the photos or knit two identical mitts.
