We all scream for ice cream! I took the colors and shapes of one of my favorite ice cream flavors (Ben & Jerry’s-Phish Food) and “translated” them into a wearable design. These mitt(en)s are packed with gooey marshmallows, laced with caramel clusters on a chocolate sea and… do I spy an occasional little phish? Yep, that’s in there too! And since they’re designed with the option to be fingerless or full mittens you can follow your heart (and your climate) and knit whichever option works best for you.
