Polymnia was the muse of hymns, sacred poetry, dance and eloquence. The name Polymnia means “many hymns.”

The Polymnia mitts are started with an optional tubular cast on, which provides a stretchy edge to the cuffs. A classic cable pattern is worked on top of the mitts and the rest of the mitts are worked in 2x2 ribbing.
