Ingrid Mitts

I love these three-colored Mitts from The Nordic Knitting Primer. They are a fast knit! I love how long they are. Cozy mitts are the key to loving winter. I love mitts because they are helpful especially when winter is coming and going. I also love mitts for x-country skiing when the sun is out. These mitts are in Chapter 4, because there is a bit of purling in colorwork. These mitts will help you ease into that skill. There’s just a bit, so don’t be afraid.
