Who doesn’t love a pair of mitts with nice long cuffs? They look great and are practical as they avoid that chilly gap between coat and cuff. This unisex pair uses a crisp stranded colorwork design to add extra knitting fun. They’d make a lovely holiday gift, and are simple enough that you may even have time to make a second pair for yourself. Try bold contrasting colors like those in the sample, or a more subtle tonal combo for a softer look. You should have plenty of the recommended yarn for two pairs. Try reversing the colors for the second pair.**
