These mitts use one of the motifs from Seraph sweater which is inspried by the highly decorated interior of Watts Chapel in Compton, Surrey. Worth a visit if you are in the area as it is very unexpected for a small rural village.
The mittens are worked in the round with an afterthought thumb and make a great, quickly knitted gift to use up some of your scraps or would make a good introduction to stranded colourwork.
