A quick and versatile accessory, the Winkle Mittens are a relaxing gift knit, or make a pair for yourself to go with the Beachcomber Wrap. “The Old Shale lace pattern appears in many knits shared through generations of my family,” Naomi says. “Like so many knitters, I love incorporating heritage motifs into modern, wearable knits.” Our sample as shown uses mini skeins for a playful effect, but these would be just as good in one colour.
