Sutton Heights Mitts

One of my favorite times of the year is the holidays and gift knitting. What is more perfect than the Sutton Height Mitts featuring garter texture, a chunky horseshoe cable going up the middle with a folded down top rib, and knit up in aran weight yarn? For the last-minute gift knitter, this is sure to be a quick knit as well as a great stash dive to keep your loved one's hands nice and toasty during the holiday season!
