Peru Mitts

These mitts were inspired by my trip to Peru and, specifically, Machu Picchu with the intent of bringing a little culture into my fall/winter wardrobe.

Colorful knitwear is a crucial part of Peruvian culture and history. Imitating the look and feel of traditional Andean knits, these fingerless mitts utilize slipped stitches to create a unique and colorful detail.
