Coquihalla Mitts
Tracing its way through the Cascade Mountains is the infamous Highway Thru Hell, otherwise known as the Coquihalla or, as locals call it, “the Coq”. This snowbound highway roughly follows the route of the former Kettle Valley Railway, connecting the coastal rainforest of BC’s Lower Mainland with the desert climate of its interior.
These fingerless mitts are knit bottom up with a thumb gusset formed from increases made across the palm of the mitt. A cabled column runs up the center.
