Paimio Cowl and Fingerless Mitts by Novita Design Studio

The design challenge behind the Paimio accessory set was to create both a cowl and fingerless mitts using just two skeins of yarn! Despite its chunky weight, Aino is surprisingly light and generous in yardage. When knitting the set, it’s best to start with the mitts—then you can make the cowl as tall as the remaining yarn allows.
