TEMPERATE MITTS

Like the Temperate Hat, these mitts are inspired by the many lush forests that line the Pacific North West. They feature one climbing cable, reverse stockinette and twisted rib. These mitts can easily be completed in a few nights and make a great gift or first time cable project. Pair them with the Temperate hat for a matching set! Size M/L is pictured.
