A great project for beginning colorwork! These mitts are just the thing to pull on when temperatures start to dip, but you aren’t quite through collecting your beach treasures. The colorwork is inspired by the colors and textures of the sand and the ebbing tide. Work in low contrast colors for a subtle effect, or higher contrast for a bolder look.
