These attractive and practical mitts were designed to pair with my Cloisters hat pattern. The ribbed palm and thumb create a snug and comfortable fit that can accommodate a variety of hand shapes and sizes. The length of the mitts can be adjusted by adding additional rows in the cuff or final ribbing.
