ROOT MITTS

Build a strong foundation
Of curling cable roots
To keep hands warm
And learn new attributes

The Root Mitts are knit flat and then seamed to create the thumb hole. It’s a great project for anyone who doesn’t prefer knitting in the round, knitting a thumb gusset, or wanting an easy first-time cable project to gain confidence!
