Two identical mitts make a pair - they fit equally comfortably on either hand. The mitts are worked in the round from cuff to finger opening, with a gusset formed for the thumb along the way. The striped ribbing and simple-to-follow slip-stitch pattern in the hand provide lots of color interest. And good news! - slip-stitch colorwork means you work with only one color in a row, so these vibrant mitts are a breeze to knit.
