A Tent in the Woods (Mittens)

These mittens are worked in a modified half fisherman’s rib, which resembles brioche but is easier to work. In the centre of the front and back of each mitten is a chevron ‘fern’ motif worked with cable.

This mitten pattern can also be bought in a matching set with the Tent in the Woods hat (see other listings)
