PDF KNITTING PATTERN. PRICES ARE IN USD.

These mitts are for keeping warm during all kinds of exploration. They’re named after a park I love here in Victoria, Witty’s Lagoon, where you can walk a forest trail down to a wide beach that’s filled with birds and intertidal creatures. I designed them to suit adventurers of all ages and inclinations, so there are sizes from kid to grownup, along with two versions — a simple, classic look, and a more adorned textured one. Both versions are a quick, satisfying knit and they make great gifts!
