Bright red mittens on a string, each with a little smiley face embroidered on the thumb, so a quick wiggle turns them into puppets while you wait at the bus stop. The string keeps the pair together, so neither one goes missing at the school gate.

Handmade in a medium child's size, suggested for ages 4 to 8. Each mitten measures 18 cm long including the cuff and 7.5 cm across the fingers, with a 4 cm thumb.
