Gerla Mitts
A very simple 1 skein pair of fingerless mittens that will become your favourite winter-gift project. They take no time at all and are a great stash buster, if you have that one odd DK skiing laying around.
They feature my original designed thumb gusset which gives perfect wearability and a slick design.
