Sassy cat mitts are the perfect fingerless mitts for all cat lovers. They will keep your hands warm but free to move and work or play (with your cat, naturally!). And everyone will know you or your loved ones are owned by a cat when you are spotted wearing these…

The pattern has 2 sections of simple stranded colourwork and is written using the magic loop method (but can be knit with dpns).
