Staying warm in style!
For these mitts, you'll start at the fingertips with a magic cast-on and work toward the thumb, leaving a hole for the wrist. Short-rows are used to give the hand a curved shape. Once the hand is complete, stitches are picked up around the hole and the cuff is worked downward from there.
