Eagle Pine Kits

Knit Picks is offering kits with the Eagle Pine Hat and Mittens patterns I published last year. The kits are $14.99 and include the set of patterns and six balls of Wool of the Andes. Knit Picks used the same bright shades I chose for my design and another color combo of earthy shades. Satisfy your urge for fall knitting with these quick and easy projects.

The patterns are also sold separately at Knit Picks and Ravelry

Eagle Pine Mittens

The Eagle Pine Mittens are fun to knit and wear. Knit with worsted weight yarn, these mittens work up quickly and will keep your hands cozy all winter. 

The pattern comes in sizes suitable for a woman, man, or child. Make them in a trio of brights on a neutral background, or with two contrasting colors. 

The slip-stitch pattern is easy. You'll never knit with more than one color at a time. These mittens are knit in the round, with your choice of double pointed needles or circulars. The stitch pattern is both charted and written.
