An elegant branch with beautiful voluminous leaves rises from the cuff to the fingertips of these fun mittens. The Morana Mittens are worked in the round from the cuff up and finished with decreases, alternating in the round to give your fingers a lot of wiggle room. Made with aran weight City Tweed yarn, these mittens knit up very quickly and make a great last-minute gift.
