Inspired by the Liveship Traders series by Robin Hobb, these mitts could have been worn by Althea Vestrit when she disguised herself as ship’s boy so she could prove herself a sailor. These mitts, bedecked with coins and sailors queues, would have kept her warm while she worked alongside the ship’s hunters on the cold winter seas.

Pattern is charted. Written for double-pointed needles, the pattern is easily adapted to two circular needles or the Magic Loop technique.
