Wintry Mix Mitts
These cute mitts combine a variety of winter motifs and are perfect for this time of year! Knit in a versatile sport weight alpaca and wool blend, these knit up surprisingly quick. This pattern uses three colors of yarn, though you can combine as many colors as you’d like if you’re feeling adventurous!
