The design of these mitts came from a tree growing out of the fancy cuff and up the back of the hand. the tree forms the shape of a heart and there is a heart at the top of the tree, hence the name Tree of Love.
The different sizes are made by changing the yarn and needles but a few stitches could be taken from the palm of the hand after the cuff for a tighter fit.
