**This listing is for a KNITTING PATTERN ONLY -- not a finished pair of mittens. Just the pattern to knit a pair for your very own.**
A pair of stately owls perch on the back of these fine-gauge colourwork mittens. The contrasting palm pattern offers interest in a traditional spirit.
It also comes with instructions and charts to make the Owlmittens as fingerless Owlmittens -- these are owls for all seasons!
The pattern is a clear, concise, 4-page .pdf file with large charts and images, which I will send via your PayPal email address as soon as I possibly can.
