These practical yet charming handwarmers were inspired by the yarn I used to create them; Brooklyn Tweed’s Shelter in the Truffle Hunt colorway is richly rustic and perfect for these mitts. They have a very rural feeling, but are great for city folk, too.

Worsted weight yarn knit on US 9 double pointed needles means that this was a quick (and loose!) knit, but you could knit these on 7’s for a much smaller size and tighter fabric.

Techniques include knitting in the round, using the knit and purl stitches, simple decreasing, increasing, and making a bobble (described in the pattern.)
