The Misty Pines Mitts were designed to accompany the Misty Pines Beanie, a design which was inspired by those crisp fall afternoon hikes where you can barely make out the trees for all the fog. As the fog clears, you start to see how dense the forest really is, and the combination of trees and mist form beautiful patterns in the distance.

These fingerless mitts come in three sizes as well as two chart options (high- and low-contrast).

This pattern has been tech edited and tested.
