Loom Knit Lobster Mittens

The lobster mittens are finally done! And I have the pattern to share with you!

Like I said before, These mittens are a glove-mitten combo and have a split that separate your pinkie and ring finger from your middle and index fingers. While wearing them you could do a Vulcan salute or pretend you have three fingers like a Sontaran. You could also use the handbrake on your bike while still holding on to the handle! Amazing!
