Blue Ridge Mitts

Growing up, one of my family’s favorite day trips was to wander along the scenic sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Often, the majestic mountains peek out from a low cloud, giving them a mystical, other-worldly feel that captivates the imagination. Inspired by this beauty, the Blue Ridge Mitts echo these soft, layered blue vistas that rise and fall, creating a harmony of color. Their subtle textured pattern evokes the gentle gradations of hues that the eye perceives as the mountains recede into the distance. These cozy mitts are meticulously designed to help beginner knitters learn to follow a chart, making them the perfect introductory project. However, seasoned knitters will find that they can whip up a pair in no time!
