Everyday Mitts

$8.00 USD

These versatile mitts are for every day! Sized from Toddler to Adult Extra Large, they include instructions for fingerless and mitten versions. The fingerless style keeps your hands cozy for activities like working on your computer, knitting, or running errands, while the closed mitten is great for walking the dog, biking, driving, and more.

Both patterns come with sizes for the whole family, and you can use different weights of yarn by choosing the size you knit based on your gauge.
