About
The Baby Herringbroche Mittens is made with a technique I call Herringbroche - It’s a 5 stitch pattern repeat, that makes a herringbone pattern with interwoven strands of diagonal contrast colored yarn looking like brioche knit.

These mittens are perfect for newborn winter babies who need warm and soft mittens. Make sure to check out the adult size version for a matching set for the mother.
