Thumbless hand knit baby mittens with a coat cord.
These baby's lightweight mittens are made with a wool/nylon blend yarn imported from Italy. They are knit in smooth stockinette stitch with seamless construction. The no-thumb design easily slips onto small hands. Left and right mitts are interchangeable. Ribbed cuffs gently hug the wrist.
These traditionally knit mittens are knit by hand in-the-round with superfine weight yarn on US size 1 double-pointed needles (not cranked on a machine) to obtain a gauge (in stockinette stitch) of 117 stitches per square inch! This fine, tight gauge creates a warm, durable fabric.
Sized for baby, 3 to 6 months.
