Reebou Mitts
“Catch a rainbow, hold it close.”

The Reebou Mitts are a soft whisper of joy — a celebration of colour, warmth, and simple pleasure. Each stripe flows seamlessly into the next, creating a cheerful rhythm that feels both playful and comforting. Designed to be clean, timeless, and soothing to knit, these mitts let the colours shine while the stitches stay calm and meditative.

Whether you choose bright rainbow tones or soft, faded pastels, this pattern will bring a little light to your day and a smile to your hands. Pair them with the matching Reebou Cowl for the full set.
