Essence Mittens by Åsa Buchta

The sleek Essence cowl and mitten set offers both classic style and versatility with the cowl’s unique split hem that can be worn multiple ways for styling options. The cowl is worked flat in a wide rib before joining to work in the round, while the mittens are knit in the round from cuff to fingertip. These straightforward projects are perfect palettes for customizing—choose anything from your go-to neutral or a knitworthy recipient’s favorite bright.
