Oak leaves is a set containing a hat, a cowl and fingerless mitts (3 patterns) with stranded colorwork in three colors featuring delicate oak leaves and acorns. The acorns are added afterwards using duplicate stitch. It is perfect to work up some small leftovers.

The Oak leaves mitts are worked bottom up from cuff to fingers. The Oak leaves mitts can be worn with the band up for warm fingers or folded down when you need your fingers to work.
They come in three sizes: small, medium and large. The sample is the medium size.
Tips on colorwork, stranded knitting and duplicate stitch are included
