Colette mittens are designed for everyday wear during those chilly autumn and spring days. Their slim design makes them fit like a glove.

These mittens are worked starting from the cuff using the magic loop technique. Then increases are worked for the thumb. Stitches for the thumb are left aside while working the rest of the palm. Finally, you work the top of the thumb.
