Perfect shells await the treasure hunter on a soft and cozy beach of Garter Stitch. Worked in the round, the shells are placed on both sides of each mitten which can be worn on either hand. Sizes included for beachcombers of all ages.

These mittens are worked in the round in a lightweight yarn. The ribbed cuff hugs the wrist and Garter Stitch provides a thick, warm base. The Shell Pattern sits above the garter ridges and fans color changes across several rows. Working the thumb first ensures that color changes in the yarn match the base and the rounded mitten topper is an easy and comfortable finish.
