The mitts are worked bottom up in the round. They receive their finishing touch afterwards by lightly threading a contrast colour through the knitted piece. This creates an overall fun and pleasing look, while staying highly versatile and opening space for your own creativity. Play with colour and make the unisex set yours.

MODIFICATIONS
These mitts are great for using up stash and left-over yarn from other projects!
