Flutter Butterfly Mittens

Introducing our enchanting **Yellow Butterflies Mittens**, inspired by the vivid imagery from Gabriel Garcia Marquez's iconic novel, **One Hundred Years of Solitude**. These beautifully crafted mittens capture the recurring motif of a cloud of yellow butterflies that surround the character of Meme and her lover, making them a perfect homage to this timeless story.

The back of the mittens is adorned with a stunning design depicting clouds of rising butterflies. The elegant transition from distant squalls of yellow specks to fully formed butterflies illustrates the journey of love and transformation within the tale. As the butterfly forms become increasingly apparent, you can feel the connection to Meme's passionate yet tragic romance with the mechanic.

Meanwhile, the palms of the mittens feature an intricate lattice pattern, adding depth and texture to your knitting project. On the right-hand mitten, a large, detailed butterfly takes center stage, symbolizing the bittersweet nature of love and loss. This exquisite motif serves as a reminder of Meme's defiance and her connection to her lover, as she navigates the challenges presented by their relationship.

As her lover's condition deteriorates, the butterflies begin to wither, signaling the heartbreaking journey of love's fragility.
