Design: Hélène Magnússon
The Mosi Mittens, with their lovely colors, were a fresh take on a type of traditional stranded mittens with little motifs ensuring that the fabric stays warm. Then I made a matching hat, and now a matching sweater in the same colors of the Icelandic moss.
Not fan of the green? Many lovely colors have been combined to knit some hats and mittens: be inspired by the 20 colors of Gilitrutt available!
