Saskie mitts is a whimsical and cute design inspired by Saskatchewan, the sweetest and gentlest little senior bun I adopted. It is a matching design with the saskie jumper.
The mitts are knitted bottom-up and in the round, featuring a stranded colourwork motif throughout. The thumbs are knitted using the afterthought thumb technique. You can choose to “mismatch” your mitts as shown in the photos or knit two identical mitts.
