Pacific Ripples are inspired by the waves of the Pacific Ocean off of the California coast. The mitts are a companion to the Pacific Blues hat and cousin to the Beyond The Pines shawl. All three patterns can be purchased together in the From Pines To Pacific collection.

Knit from the cuff up, the mitts are a good place to use a variegated yarn. Much of the fabric is on bias, so it looks puckered until worn. A good blocking is needed to help the fabric relax.
