Keep your little one’s hands toasty warm this winter with these classic warm woolen mittens. Worked in the round from the long ribbed cuff, these mittens feature a thumb gusset and Kitschner stitch to close the end. The extra tight gauge ensures that bitter winter winds won’t bother tender little fingers. Add the optional braided mitten leash to keep them attached to the coat so you won’t be left searching for a lost mitten and you’ll never again hear, “I lost my mitten!”
