Vector Mittens
Vector Mittens are fashioned with an allover geometric pattern, a fitted cuff, and gusseted thumb. They are snug and cozy, ensuring comfort and warmth. Instructions are given for a rounded closure at the tips of the fingers (pictured), a more traditional mitten top, as well as an option for fingerless mittens.
Difficulty Level: Intermediate. Pattern uses i-cord cast on, increases, decreases, working from charts, knitting in the round, grafting, and stranded knitting.
