Quoin mittens
The Quoin mittens are designed for cold
days and everyday wear. The long cuff
can be folded double to keep wrists
warm, and the thumb is shaped with
gusset increases for a comfortable and natural
fit. An easy cable pattern runs along the top of
the mitten, adding a quiet decorative detail while
keeping the knitting approachable.
Knit in baby camel yarn, these mittens are
wonderfully soft and warm. For an even cozier
finish, they can also be knit by holding a strand of
light fingering-weight yarn together with mohair,
adding extra softness and a gentle halo.
