Mayberry
Stay toasty in style with Mayberry, a pair of mittens that bring warmth and charm to chilly spring days! Featuring an easy-to-knit mosaic pattern, these mittens add a playful pop of color without the fuss—just simple stitches creating bold results.
But the real magic is inside: a luxuriously soft lining made with brushed suri yarn held double for ultimate coziness. The extra layer traps warmth while feeling like a cloud against your skin, making these mittens as delightful to wear as they are to knit.
Perfect for keeping your hands warm on frosty mornings or adding a handmade touch to your winter wardrobe, Mayberry is a joy to make and even better to wear.
