These mittens were sample knit for me by the intrepid and wonderful Colleen Croce. The pattern was inspired by a trip back to my native Berkshire Hills (Massachusetts) last spring. As anyone without a GPS will tell you, it's very hard to find your way around all of those loopy, winding roads. There's hardly one straight one in the bunch. Honestly, though, I love it! And so, the Winding Roads Mittens were born.
They have a short cuff, like a driving glove would, but in the pattern there is a modification for a longer one. Made from a blend of alpaca and merino, they are very warm, and oh-so-soft. The yarn is Cascade Yarns Lana D'Oro, and it is delicious. It comes in generously sized hanks (210 yds), and one hank easily makes both mittens.
Available on Ravelry as Winding Roads Mittens for $4 USD, or
. Enjoy them!
