Choose Your Own Path Mitts

Description

These easy-to-knit, choose-your-own adventure mitts will knit up quickly to your preferred length, long or short, stripes or color blocking, with Latvian braids or plain. If you enjoy colorwork, spice things up a bit for the ribbing or leave it simple with a one color rib. Choose a top that can flip up for finger coverage when it’s cold or tuck under for finger exposure when you need to use your phone or to tie a small person’s shoes.
