She also addresses yarn choices and knitting techniques for easy care and maximum warmth. Through basic mitten and glove recipes, Kate explains how to measure a hand, assess your yarn selection and gauge, and ultimately customize patterns, including the 10 gorgeous ones inside, to make the best fitting mitts for you and your loved ones.
