If you would like the matching hat, check out the Bijou Bliss Hat

Two things I love is an interesting stitch pattern to keep my mind engaged and a quick satisfying project. During the mandatory lockdown due to Covid, I found my mind spinning with the sad news reported daily, the stress of trying to keep our chiropractic business afloat and the new changes to daily life. I needed focus and something to sooth my mind. After designing the Bijou Bliss Hat, I decided that I needed matching mitts! Knit in one or two colors, this is a great stash dive to knit up in a precious skein you have saved or use two contrasting colors from leftover projects to create unique fingerless mitts! I hope the Bijou Bliss Mitts can bring some comfort and peace to you as it has done for me.
