Product Details
Cats, candy and colorwork - my grandmother in a nutshell. Every Christmas, I would look forward to the soft gift from my grandmother. It was almost always a pair of thick woolly handknit socks, but a certain pair of mittens sticks out in my memories. It’s that patterning that I’ve tried to recreate here, choosing colours that match one of her favorite candies (and mine too!) and adding in a little twist at the cuffs that shows off her love of cats. The mitts are worked from the bottom up and have a gusset thumb with two design options.
