They say that if you keep your pulse points warm, you’ll stay warm all over. These tweedy cuffs prove that theory nicely, and you can turn the cozy quotient up or down for outdoors or in. Pick a colorwork chart, an edging, then finish as little cuffs, fingerless gloves, or full mittens. Add color choice to the mix, and the possibilities are infinite!
The cuffs are surprisingly warm and practical. Make a pair to peek from under your coat sleeves, grab your wellies, and go for a walk! Don a pair of fingerless gloves for knitting outdoors or texting on the go. Or keep your precious knitting digits toasty and fully covered with the adorable and festive mittens!
