Notes
These fingerless mitts will keep you warm! A snug ribbed cuff will stay tucked into your coat sleeves, while the long “turtlenecks” at both the finger and thumb openings can be cuffed for dexterity or worn long for extra coverage. Like the matching Migrate Beanie, these mitts feature a slipped-stitch motif that makes the most of a variegated yarn.
