The Onward & Upward mitts can each be knit with ANY fingering weight yarn held double, or a single strand of a worsted weight yarn. Both pairs use garter stitch short rows to create close fitting mitts. In Onward, the mitts are knit flat and side-to-side, then joined with a brilliant slash of color. But, if a lace panel marching toward your finger-tips t is more your style, then Upward is perfect.
