Perfect for when autumn arrives, these stranded colorwork mittens work up in a double-thick fabric with traditional thumb gusset shaping. Stylized oak trees sway around the cuffs and climb up the palm side while acorns fall gently to the ground on the outside. Keep your hands cozy as you search for a squirrel’s favorite treat, jump in the leaves, or sit by the fire pit with your tea this fall season.
