Introducing the exquisite Hasta Mitts, thoughtfully designed for the 2014 SPA weekend in the charming town of Freeport, ME. The use of purple—a color renowned for its calming properties—helps to alleviate stress, slow down an overactive heart, and promote a tranquil state of being. According to the legendary artist and thinker Leonardo da Vinci, meditating on the gentle rays of violet, as seen in stunning church windows, can amplify the power of meditation ten-fold.

The Hasta Mitts feature a harmonious blend of stitch textures, which not only makes them visually captivating but also enhances your overall wellness experience. Achieving balance is key to our well-being, representing equal parts of dualities in life. The mitts incorporate a lively seed stitch that stimulates the senses, while the smooth diagonal stockinette stitch offers a soothing contrast that calms the mind and body.

Knit from the fingertips to the wrist, the Hasta Mitts begin with a foundation of seed stitch. The construction includes casting on for the thumb gusset, which is thoughtfully shaped by increasing at the center of the thumb cast-on stitches and decreasing on the opposite side of the mitt. As you progress, the transition from stimulating seed stitch to calming stockinette provides a unique knitting experience that keeps you engaged and centered.
