MITTS

CUFFED CONVERTABLE MITTS

FAIRLIGHT FIBERS |  FAIRLIGHTFIBERS.COM

The Point Edwards Mitts are like sweaters for your hands! These simple cuffed mitts can be worn either as
fingerless mitts, or with the cuffs unrolled to cover cold fingertips, including the thumbs! They are perfect for
winter walks or for driving on cold mornings. 

These mitts use simple techniques, like knitting in the round and basic increases to create warm, dense mitts that
fit the average woman's hand.

The yarn used in these mitts is our exclusive Cedar House Yarns Irish Yearling DK colorway, It's Cold Outside. Any
DK yarn will work for these mitts.
