The plaid traveling mitts were inspired by the Outlander series. I love the plaid kilts and skirts worn by the Scots in this wonderful new series. These mitts have been designed for either a man or woman. Alchemy Yarns has such an array of beautiful colors. You can either knit something very subtle or very bright. I recommend playing with two complimentary colorways and one element color to create the plaid stripes.

This pattern includes a step-by-step guide (with pictures!) on how to create the plaid with the crochet hook.

You will need three skeins of Sanctuary by Alchemy Yarns.
Note: You will only use half of each of the main colors and wee bit of the accent color to create the plaid. The three skeins will create two sets of mitts, or you could create a matching hat.
