Traders Cove Mitts
Traders Cove is a regional park nestled along the shores of Okanagan Lake. As a protected vegetation and wildlife park, much of this serene oasis is in its natural state. The park’s two bays are divided by a rocky peninsula adorned with native cacti and sagebrush, and dotted with ponderosa pine.
These simple fingerless mitts are knit bottom up with a thumb gusset. The gusset is created with paired yarn-over increases, which are twisted when knit, eliminating the holes normally left by yarn-overs. A single textured column runs up the side of the mitts.
