While many knitters appreciate the aesthetic of mismatched "left" and "right" mitts with individual designs, the process of reversing shaping or offsetting thumb placement can sometimes be a hassle. This innovative design features a clever trick that creates the illusion of two distinct, symmetrically reflected mitts while using a simple "make two" method. I affectionately refer to this concept as ambihandrous, making it both practical and visually appealing.

Originally crafted with the delightful Finito yarn, this pattern truly shines when worked in a sport weight yarn rather than a fingering weight. Finito boasts an exceptional squooshy loft, allowing the mitts to be knitted at a larger gauge without compressing the luxurious softness of the yarn. If you're looking for an excellent alternative, Bugga! is a perfect substitute that also maintains the same gauge. Plus, you’ll have enough yarn left over to create the charming matching shawlette from Curiouser.
