A Perfect Pair of Mittens is an easy, plain and simple pattern in a pleasing shape! Perfect for everyone!! These mittens are roomy with a curvy top so your fingers can wiggle. The density of the knitted fabric is comfortable and will keep hands toasty warm in chilly weather. Snug cuffs will keep the mittens in place and the cuffs are long enough to turn up, too. The construction of the pattern allows you to easily modify the length of the cuff, thumb or hand portion. The simplicity of the stockinette stitch is the ideal canvas for your creativity. With your imagination you can knit spectacular and colorful mittens with variegated yarns or stripes in coordinating colors. Or take it to the limit and use the duplicate stitch for mosaics and other designs on your knitted mittens. Pattern includes three sizes which fit 7”, 8” and 9” hand circumferences.
