These convertible mitts are both pretty and practical—flip the mitten top down for fingerless mitts when dexterity is needed, and then flip the top back up to keep the whole hand toasty.

The easy cross pattern helps to break up pooling, which makes these mitts a perfect choice for your favorite variegated yarn!

This pattern, which uses only one skein of yarn, is is a Malabrigo Quickies pick for September 2025!

PATTERN NOTES

• Mitts can be lengthened or shortened easily by adding or subtracting rounds before or after the thumb gusset (but keep in mind that this will change the amount of yarn required).
