Highly textured, these thick, wooly fingerless mittens boast a center panel of beautiful lacy branches, heavy with snow, flanked by a geometric dot pattern ~ the pattern combination resembling a snowy winter scape. A longer style mitt, hitting at mid-forearm, with edging in moss stitch, a further departure from traditionally styled gloves.
