Mitts with sun-ray ribs brighten the greyest of days.

Ideal for vacation knitting, you can make a beautiful pair of Leave these to Me and a pair of Raymi from one 100g skein, and they’re on the same size needles too. This way you get two different projects to keep you entertained while you’re away, packed in the space for one project. It’s a fantastic alternative to one pair of vacation socks, don’t you think?

Named after the Peruvian Sun God festival, you can capture some sunshine to keep you warm later. Alternatively, choose a muted shade for a more subtle effect. Worked in the round, this is an easy & portable project for an intermediate knitter.
