Greenery Mitts

Companions to the Greenery Hat and Greenery Cowl, these richly textured mitts feature elegant leaves, crisp half-twisted ribbing, and contrasting seed stitch. The leafy motif combines a cluster stitch, two-stitch cables, and simple lace, but in any round you will only need to use one of these techniques. The gusset increases are placed on the palm side only, to create a graceful shape and comfortable fit.
