The Late Bloomer Mittens first appeared in Making Magazine No .10 Intricate. The pattern was conceived on a sunny autumn day in Toronto. It was during a bike ride past lawns and gardens decorated with fall foliage that the idea took hold. Dinner plate–sized dahlias in burnt orange, yellow, and red bumped heads with towering sunflowers reaching toward a blue sky. These mittens were designed to imitate this jubilant mishmash of blooms.
