The Coggeshall Mitts is the fifth pattern in my Knit Fresh Rhode Island e-book!There will be a total of 12 patterns in all, 3 of which will only be available as part of the ebook. Patterns will be released monthly or thereabouts :).
The idea for this ebook came to me after spending a good amount of time visiting various sheep and wool fairs in Rhode Island and Massachusetts and reading more about smaller yarn producers.
This project is my way of combining my love of Rhode Island with my love of yarn! All of the patterns will use yarns that are made in Rhode Island.
Projects will include hats, mittens, scarves, and shawls. All are designed to use one or two skeins and are a great way to try out some unique yarns and support small businesses.
When you subscribe to the ebook, you will receive periodic notices when a new pattern is ready.
The yarn used in this hat is hand painted by Gigi Bonin, a dyer based in Warwick, Rhode Island. Her yarns are available online through etsy at https://www.etsy.com/shop/GigiBonin.
The Coggeshall mitts begin with a garter band worked lengthwise. Stitches are then picked up along a long edge and joined to work in the round. A button band is added at the end.
Other fingering weight yarns can be used. I hope you will find a lovely handpaint to use.
This pattern is designed to make the most of variegated colorways!
