An elegant branch with beautiful voluminous leaves rise from the cuff to the fingertips of these fun mittens. The Morana Mittens are worked in round from cuff up and finished with decreases, alternating in 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.
