The Harvest Moon mittens were designed to minimize tension issues, by having a very simple background motif. This also allows for a thick and warm mitten. Knit with a Selbu style thumb and an extra long cuff that can be folded over these mittens are stylish and comfortable. The thumb is decorated with an moon in a third color, which can easily be substituted for the contrast color if needed.
