Wow your friends with your very own dalek mittens (also double as hand puppets)! These bottom-up mittens provide warmth and fun for any Doctor Who fan. Play around with colors and styles to emulate the daleks from your favorite Doctor’s era!

These puppies have a lot of negative ease so one size fits most. Instructions are included for lengthening the hand and thumb for those with longer hands. Sizes for children are not included.
