Pattern description:
It’s a stealth flip-top mitten. There’s no visible seams, and there’s even a thumb slit so that you can text and get out your change for the bus.

Sizes
XS/S fits a hand 6.0 to 6.5 inches in circumference around the knuckles.
DK weight wool on 3.5 mm needles.

M/L fits a hand 7.0 to 7.5 inches in circumference around the knuckles.
Worsted weight wool on 4.5 mm needles.

Difficulty level
Somewhat fiddly. The techniques used are not that difficult (knitting in the round, cabling, cable cast-on, three needle bind-off), but this is a pattern that requires concentration.
