These fun striped mittens are worked back and forth in rows and seamed to match the stripes exactly (with no worries about the jog in the stripe pattern that occurs when working in the round). With thumb gusset shaping on the side, the left and right are identical and will fit either hand. These would be great in a solid color too!
