About the design: The popular Flowers of Fortrose hat by Corinne is now available here in the Flowers of Fortrose Mitten Pattern. The Flowers of Fortrose Mittens were named after Fortrose on the Black Isle in the Highlands of Scotland where Corinne’s family spent lots of school holidays visiting her Grandad. Flowers are all around throughout the village.

Flowers of Fortrose is a cheerful colorwork design using Jamieson and Smith 2ply Jumper Weight. You can now knit a pair of mittens to match your Flowers of Fortrose hat and be snug all winter long.

This pattern is a great choice for adventurous beginners.
