We stopped (as knitters do) in a tiny, now closed, yarn shop in Biddeford. It was full of lots of mass-market yarns, but what I really wanted was something special—something Mainer. I found this skein of loosely spun 2-ply that reads as purple but is really a wonderful heathery mix of blues, reds, and even some green.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy daughter wanted mittens.  Mittens with holes for her fingers but not—and this was important—flaps. Unfortunately, my initial design attempts went nowhere. I put the yarn away for years, and then, after an interstate move and uncounted family changes, I went back to them. The final version is bottom-up, with a gradated thumb gusset, ribbed finger opening, and a very pointy top and thumb.  They reminded her of gnome hats, and so we named them GnoMitts. They’re a nice blend of fun and funky—just right for my now-tween girl!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independent Designer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56732972024186,"sku":"UPID02287","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/3219\/4170\/files\/b7c34c92125a9503bd8b90440fa90e86ceea99d9_UPID02287_1728304001588100.jpg?v=1775728859","url":"https:\/\/www.lovecrafts.com\/en-us\/products\/gnomitts-knitting-pattern-by-katherine-vaughan","provider":"LoveCrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
