The mittens are a really useful cold weather accessory including three finger cover options (full mittens, fingerless mittens or convertible flip/split palm mittens) and style customisations that ensure it works well with different sleeves and for different personal tastes or use. It’s easy to adapt as the customisation section in the pattern provides ideas to help you make a truly unique item that reflects your personal style.

They are part of the Vivid Winter Collection, which includes designs for a yoked cowl, these warm mittens and a fun festive bauble tree decoration all featuring the alternating colours V-stitch.
