Sapling Mittens

The Sapling Mittens are a lightweight yet toasty pair of mittens inspired by the new growth on the forest floor. A leaf-stitch pattern is worked along the gusset and thumb, standing out against the simplicity of the stockinette it accompanies. Knitted using a lightweight yarn paired with mohair, these mittens are ideal for those crisp autumn walks in the woods.
