Super warm mitts for the winter months , these mitts will make a lovely gift, and are super soft.

The mitt has a small fair isle border using 3 contrast shades, the 3 colours are in the same rounds,(optional) but no more than 2 shades are ever used at any one time.The 3 shades are used to finish the top of the mitt and thumb gusset.The palm is plain knit.
