Martha's Mittens pattern

“Named for the Biblical Martha, these mittens are working mittens. The rib pattern allows the fabric to hug your hand even after a day’s work. Not too bulky, they'll keep your fingers toasty while typing, working in the barn, or driving to work. Their all-day warmth will ease the pain of arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Put them to work for you.” ~Joan
