Normandy is my mother’s favourite place on earth. She practically raised me there, and when she asked me to design her a pair of mitts the colours she chose reminded me of the farm she loves so much.

Sizing:
These mitts will fit a small hand snugly, but they can easily be made larger by casting on an even number of stitches.

My LYS didn’t have Fresco or a similar yarn in the charcoal colour I needed to make these mitts, which is why I held the Kidsilk Haze and the Opal together to make my third colour. This made sense for me since I knew what else I could use those yarns for, but keep in mind that these are both expensive yarns and you will only be using a couple yards of each, so if you can find all three of your colours in your preferred yarn or have some scrap yarn that is appropriate for your third colour, by all means use that.
