These fast and fun mittens feature three luscious shades of purple. Two strands are held double throughout; one strand is swapped for each wide stripe to create a bold gradient effect. The long cuffs feature a satisfying reversible slip-stitch rib—wear them long, scrunch them up, or fold them over depending on your coat or mood.
