NOTES
These cosy mitts are knitted in a simple stitch pattern that makes a striking texture effect. The design was inspired by the pine trees, their look and feel, resulting in a fun texture reminding of pine trees rising to the sky and needles on the forest floor crossing one over the other.

It is a fun, easy and fast going pattern. Mitts knit up in no time and keep your interest with the changing simple stitch pattern design. A great accessory for the colder days to keep your hands toasty warm or as an early Christmas gift stash filler-upper.
