Flip Top Mitts Pattern

Description

A simple, but delightful, warm, practical but also pretty, pattern.  This is great for a quick, but useful gift for a person on the go.

I always need a pair of fingerless gloves about for working here on the smallholding and out and about at Forest school, because I need my hands for working.  However, I also need to have warmth and sensation in them in all weathers so these are perfect for warming the hands up between tasks!!
