Heathland Mittens, are the fifth pattern in my ongoing collection inspired by the Secret of Roan Inish.
With hints of golds and heather pinks, this design was intended to bring the flora of the heath landscapes to a knitted piece.

The mittens are knit up in fingering weight yarn on size US 4/3.5 mm needles.

They’re available in three sizes: Adult S, Adult M, & Adult L.

They are constructed cuff-up, and feature a two color corrugated cuff. The design features four colors, but only two colors are in use at the same time, making it a simpler piece for those newer to colorwork. Floats remain short as well, with the longest float being 5 STS, appearing only in one round of the whole pattern.

For my sample I used Shetland fingering yarn by Sarah of @gatheredsheepyarns, Not Sponsored. Her work is genuinely stunning.
