The Horsma mittens and beanie were inspired by mead­­ows of fireweed (“maitohorsma” in Finnish) that symbolise the end of summer for Jenny Ansah. Wearing these accessories on the first chilly days of autumn will keep you warm and cosy. The main stitch pattern features bobbles and lace, while the cuff of the mittens and the brim of the beanie are worked in twisted ribbing. Both accessories are knitted with two yarns held together.
