During my summer sojourns, Sacket’s Harbor is the first signpost once I’ve left the interstate. It’s a quiet gem, the first leg of the Seaway Trail, and offers gorgeous, cool Lake Ontario vistas. It has a slightly retro vibe with roadside bars and cafes closed years ago by the building of I-81. I love it, and I often fantasize about how it must look in the off-season, foggy and damp with big fat snowflakes falling on icy waters. That’s my inspiration for the Sackets Harbor Mitts and the matching Sackets Harbor Hat.

These mittens, suitable for men and women, are a simple stranded knitting project perfect for the first-time fair isle knitter. Hat and mittens can be worked in any worsted weight yarn, but yardage may vary with content.
