Spate


The texture on these mitts creates an intriguing all-over raindrop pattern that is deceivingly simple to knit and requires no cable needle. Spate features a fold-able cuff that can be worn flipped over your fingers to keep them warm on those blustery days. These are sure to become your staple mitts.
