Late Bloomer Mittens KAL
The Late Bloomer Mittens were beautiful designed by The Knit Cafe, inspired by the foliage in Toronto on a sunny autumn day. The mittens were designed to imitate the jubilant mishmash of blooms in the fall!
We will be knitting these mittens using DPN or Magic Loop, whichever method you prefer.
