Our bestselling Clara's Playtime Mittens is back in a fingering-weight format!

This perfect convertible mitten knitting pattern is just the thing for play time. Whether you are 2 or 102, these mittens will fit like a dream and flap open for those perfect outdoor days when the sky is clear and the air is chilly.

Just like the original pattern, this mitten is constructed cuff up, with very minimal seaming around the welt pocket opening which does not interrupt the back of hand fabric. They come with an option for thumb opening in the form of a one-step button hole.

This fingering weight pattern comes with updated instructions for the pocket opening on the hand so that you do not have to work 2 needle sizes at once. These simplified new instructions make this a breeze to work up and perfect for the holidays or any gifting occasion.

There is an optional cord to connect the two mittens so that they can be threaded through the sleeves of a coat for your little ones, so the mittens don’t get lost when your little one inevitably wiggles them off.

Might we suggest pairing it with colorful hand dyed yarn or handspun yarn for a special touch? This is a great stash-buster for all those fingering weight remnants.
