A wink and a nod to The Sound of Music
These charming fingerless mitts bring to life one of my favorite parts of the classic movie The Sound of Music: Fräulein Maria's favorite things.
Expertly designed by Katy Carroll for Little Skein, Crisp Apple Strudel mitts feature an off-kilter cable that echoes overlapping layers of flaky pastry, and twisted ribbing gives a nod to traditional Bavarian stitch patterns.
The cable is made solely of 3x3 right and left crosses, but the final effect is much more complex and striking, making the mitts perfect for intermediate knitters and also within the skills of an adventurous beginner.
We have created a fresh, glowing yarn colorway on our House Merino DK base. Apple Crisp is glazed and layered with warm golden brown, as if the mitts themselves were lit from within with golden butter and gently browning apples.
You have the option to purchase just yarn (perfect if you already own the pattern or ebook), a project kit, or the full e-book + your project kit.
• Yarn only ($30): Apple Crisp is a beautiful glowy colorway, with undertones of browning butter, and overwashes of warm brown and pumpkin. It looks tonal inside (see the last picture) and positively glows outside (see the mitten photos, which were shot in mid-level sunlight).
