Digital Product – Knitting Pattern for Luna Tabi Mittens
Keep your hands warm with these unique tabi mittens, inspired by the iconic tabi shoes with a split big toe – now in the form of mittens! These trigger mittens feature a separated index finger, allowing you to move it freely, making them both stylish and functional.
Knitting Process
The mittens are knitted in the round, from the cuff to the fingertips. After the ribbed cuff, you’ll shape the thumb gusset, fingers, and index finger. Finally, the thumb and index finger are finished, and the mittens are blocked to the perfect size. A simple and fun pattern that gives a great result every time.
