Winterthur are the perfect accessory for keeping the chill from your hands during a day of crafting. Fingerless mitts are a must for any winter wardrobe and these will flex your knitting skills with their geometric stitch pattern and clever construction. Winterthur are worked sideways, flat, with slip-stitch colorwork, then joined around to work the garter stitch gusset and thumb in the round.
