Wholehearted Mittens Knitting Pattern

These fun colorwork mittens pair beautifully with the Wholehearted Hat and Wholehearted Cowl! The same heart motif is used to create these cute mittens. A peasant thumb helps to give these mittens the classic look. Written for a medium adult size, other sizes can be achieved by using a different gauge. The short motif allows for some room for lengthening/ shortening the hand portion.
