Pattern is very similar to “Slalom Mitts” so don’t buy both. You may want to try the matching “Slalom Hat” for extra curvy coziness. This pattern was originally designed for a friend fond of Japanese Tea Gardens.The mitts make a lovely gift for those dreaming of beautiful gardens while slaving over a keyboard. One experienced test knitter called these mitts “deceptively easy.” Indeed they are fairly straightforward by paying close attention to the notes. The mitts can be made larger or smaller by adding or subtracting stitches opposite from the river motif.
