In this video, I run through the techniques used in these flip top mitts, designed by Vanessa Ewing. In the intro of the video I say that the sizes are all for adults, that was a mistake! The smallest size is for toddlers!

The pattern is available on its own here.
The Perfection Worsted yarn colors you’ll see in the video:
Teal – Puddle
Purple – Evening Song
Rust – Cinnamon
Green – Olive
Gray – Silver Grey
Tan – Sand
If you’re new to knitting mitts, I recommend knitting this easy pattern first to get a feel for it. Free pattern and tutorial, Easy Fingerless Mitts.
