Pattern Description:

Keep your hands warm while exploring with these textured mitts. Great for men or women.

Knit from the cuff to the fingers in a worsted weight yarn, these mitts go fast! Nice and stretchy thanks to the stitch pattern which includes twisted stitches. These mitts will keep even the coldest hands snuggly warm.

A few evenings of knitting, and these are off the needles and on your hands. Made with a twisted stitch pattern that I love, they trap lots of warm air. You won't have a chance to get bored, since they go so quick. ...especially at a worsted weight.

And yes, they are perfect for hitting the trail!
