Necessity mitts

These mitts were created years ago when I was on a trip to the beach. With limited supplies and no real idea of how to write a pattern, I made these up on the fly. I finally found the time to sit down and write out instructions and a chart, and to specify different sizes and a full mitten version. With a textured pattern on the back of the hand and a garter rib cuff, these mitts are fun and fast to knit with enough variety to keep things interesting.
