“This mitten has a pointed cuff, and this portion being double keeps the wrist very warm. It can be worn either indoors, or outdoors over gloves.” Godey’s 1865

Website has a link to a modern interpretation, as well as the historical pattern. The mitten does have a crochet chain around the edges, but that can always be skipped.

Happy knitting! ~ Jamie
