Rata Mittens & Hat

Description

‘Rata’ is Finnish for ‘tracks’. This winter set is reminiscent of tracks left by a pair of skis in the snow – or perhaps a set of train tracks or animal tracks! This set is suitable for anyone – men, women, or kids – and looks great in any color. The Portuguese thumb gusset is a unique feature of the mittens. These mittens and hat make for fun & interesting knitting with a cozy finished product in DK weight yarn.

The pattern is written for adult and child sizes.
