These mittens combine color and texture in a honeycomb pattern.
The three-dimensional stitch pattern keeps your hands especially
warm by trapping additional air, and the snug ribbed cuffs keep
the breezes out. Worked mostly in muted tones, the mittens have a splash of color in contrasting-color thumbs and striped cuffs.
