These flip top mitts are so versatile. Wear them as mittens for warmth and simply flip off the hand and thumb coverings for fingers free quick access to phone, cup, whatever!
Worked in fingering weight yarn, these mitts are a perfect choice for mini skein sets or leftover sock yarn. The pattern begins with instructions for simple mitts. Stop there or continue onward. Pick up stitches along the ribbing of the mitts on one side to create convertible mittens.
