The simplicity of these mitts pairs beautifully with the subtle, shifting hues of hand-dyed yarn, such as those created by Rebecca of Augustbird. The muted tones echo the quiet poetry of nature; mossy greens, weathered bark, and soft autumn light; making them perfectly suited for crisp walks and slow, thoughtful moments outdoors. Finished with a delicate daisy stitch pattern, these seamless mitts offer both texture and charm. Effortlessly wearable and timeless in design, they are sure to become your constant companions as the weather cools.

These mitts are knit in the round beginning with a 1 x 1 ribbed cuff. The hand is worked in stocking stitch and finished with a daisy stitch. The thumb is shaped using gusset shaping, and then knit in the round to finish.
