Quince & Co Intaglio Mittens - PDF

Emily’s mitts strike a lovely balance between design and texture. We love how the simple garter rib adds stretch and warmth, making it an ideal handknit gift. Worked with our light yet sturdy fingering weight Finch, these mitts knit up surprisingly quickly and are a joy to make. Instructions for mittens or fingerless mitts are included, in two sizes, which makes it easy to knit Intaglio for all of your most knitworthy nearest and dearest.
