The Windbound Mitts are what Lindsey sees as the perfect mitt. The long wrist helps keep wind from sneaking up and biting your arms and the finger cuff can be unfolded for extra warmth if needed. The ribbing makes these mitts very forgiving in size and easy to share since they mold to the hand. For a simpler look, omit the cabled pattern and continue the ribbing through the back of the hand.
