Pattern: Classic Mittens from Free Vintage Knitting on Ravelry.
Yarn: Cascade Yarns Cloud, 70% Merino, 30% baby alpaca.
Needles: #4 dpns.
Comments: The stitch pattern on the cuffs is from the brim of the hat pattern in my previous post.
Since it is not a very stretchy stitch, I had to go down a size for the cuff of the mittens, this made it necessary to lengthen things a bit, which I do in most mitten patterns anyway. The red is very difficult to photograph, and it is really a deeper red than shows on the screen. They have not been blocked yet, so that might make the stitching look a bit more even. They're just in time for a cold snap here in Minnesota!
