Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “Mittens are one of my favorite items to knit for one simple reason, childish as it is: you can flip someone off and they just thing you’re smiling and waving! Seeing as how refs tend to get yelled at and grumped about the most, they probably need a little subtle revenge at people sometimes. These mittens are really easy to make. A disgruntled ref could whip them up after the bout and before the after-party. With only a little shaping and a tiny bit of seaming, they’ll knit up quick enough tat you can make dozens for all your referee friends in no time flat!”
