Often, while we’re busy knitting up projects for everyone on our list, the manly gifts fall to the wayside. (Well, men just aren’t as fun to knit for! Admit it--you were thinking the same thing!) This project is great for the handy man in your life--the mitts keep his fingers free to fiddle with the car radio, swing a hammer or puff on a holiday cigar while still keeping his hands somewhat warm. With just a few hours, you can easily make room for this week’s simple gift. This would be a great project for a beginner--all you need to know how to do is knit.
