Cinnamon Shore Mitts - Test Version
I started these fluffy, cozy mitts on the drive to the gulf shore of Texas over Thanksgiving and finished them on the way back. I love this pattern. I love the relaxing cable pattern that gets into your brain and is easy to memorize - perfect for car trips or quick luxury gifting. These mitts provide warm memories of a chilly time with sweet family at the beautiful Cinnamon Shore. They’ll go to someone special.
