Laura Chau Fred and Ginger Flip-Tops PDF

Fred and Ginger Flip-Tops from designer Laura Chau are a fun and quick project which integrates many of the design features of Fred and Ginger Cardigan. These mittens are worked with a tidy knit-in hem, twisted ribbing, seamlessly picked up flip-tops, and an  innovative integrated button loop. The ruffed edging can be worked in a coordinating or contrasting color, and it's great for using up leftover lace weight yarn!
