Frosty Finger Mittens - (English pattern)
These warm and soft children’s mittens start with a garter stitch edge, followed by stockinette stitch and a short section of ribbing. The mittens can be knit in a solid color, a checkered pattern. They are sewn together at the end, and instructions for the thumb and wrist warmer are included.
For the smallest size, you may choose to knit without a thumb.
