Inspired by “Filey Pattern X” in Patterns for Guernseys, Jerseys and Arans by Gladys Thompson, these mitts use side-to side construction with a 3-needle cast off, afterthought thumb and cuff placket for a quick project with lots of interesting details.

The mitts are knit flat with only a small amount of knitting in the round required for the thumb.
