Remember, you may not immediately see the fruit of today's hard work, but rest assured, you are planting seeds of knowledge that will last a lifetime.
Did you know? In the United States, early American children used to gift apples to their teachers. This tradition arose because families whose children attended school were often responsible for providing housing and meals for the frontier teachers. Today, this heartwarming custom lives on, and gifting apples remains a thoughtful token of gratitude.
Our *Palm Patterned Mittens* feature a charming, repeating checker pattern that adds a stylish touch to your winter wardrobe. Additionally, the thumbs are designed with ample space to personalize your mittens with the year and up to three initials — making it a perfect gift for teachers or friends!
Are you on the lookout for a delightful gift for a science teacher? Consider trying our Newton's Mittens. Purchase both patterns and enjoy a $1 discount!

Size Options:
The size of your mittens can be easily adjusted; simply use larger or smaller needles to achieve your desired gauge. This means that you can customize the fit to suit your own hands or those of a loved one perfectly.
Materials Needed:
To create these beautiful mittens, you will need yarn in two contrasting colors. Additionally, you'll require a tapestry needle and some scrap yarn for finishing touches.
