North Country Mitts
These mitts came to be out of necessity. As the months get colder, so does my studio, and the first to feel the chill are my hands. I needed mitts that were fast to knit, easy to wear, and that wouldn’t interfere with knitting and writing. Utilizing only one set of needles, less than 70 yards of worsted weight yarn and an easy to follow stitch pattern with just the right amount of texture - these will fly off of your needles!
