Mobility Mitten

Liu, Pam

Hand knitted red and brown striped mitten; no thumb; oval shaped with small sleeve at one end and glove cuff at the other; sleeve allows the tip of a cane through; mit is then pulled up so that sleeve rests on the cane shaft just below the cane handle; slit just below the mit cuff allows the cane handle to protrude out of the wrist of the mit so the cane can be pivoted from side to side as one walks along.
