Bev Mitt is a seamless mitten with a cupholder in the hand. It perfectly holds your beverage of choice while keeping your hand warm and cozy! It’s wonderful to use at any outdoor event (tailgating, outdoor sports games, hanging out by the campfire, etc.) and always gets a lot of comments!

It’s a super fast knit that’s excellent for stash busting (it’s a one skein wonder!), gifting, and TV knitting. Instructions are written for a standard soda can/beer bottle circumference, but I’ve also given notes for altering the cup holder to fit your favorite thermos. There are instructions (including yardage/meterage) for making a solid colored version or the sporty stripped version.

The instructions are written and highly detailed. Photos documenting the process are included to help visualize the construction. Helpful tutorial links are provided for specific techniques.
