Punto means dot in Spanish. Quick peeks of color brighten up a cool morning. Mitts and mittens incorporate a slip stitch mosaic pattern to create dots. Punto Mitts are perfect to highlight that skein of variegated yarn you’re not sure how to use, or use two solids/semi-solids for a more subtle effect.

Pattern has instructions for fingerless mitts and mittens.
