Project Description: Sweet and warm, these cute mittens will keep your fingers toasty this winter! Knit from the picot hem to the top of the mitten without seams. The stranded (Fair Isle) checked cuff is long enough to keep your wrists covered and a duplicate stitched flower highlights the back of each mitten. These mittens are the perfect companion to the Check Me Out Hat pattern, which is also available.
