Suolaulu mittens
These mittens begin from the long, ribbed cuff, which can be folded. The colourwork pattern features the leaves from the Suolaulu sweater. You can also easily turn the mittens into fingerless mitts. Just leave out the top-most floral pattern, the decreases and the tip of the thumb, and finish the top edges with a short rib.
