Harrogate Tea

$6.00

Intended to pair with Jennifer Lassonde’s Yorkshire Meadow shawl, the Harrogate Tea mitts were a delight to design. Corrugated ribbing transitions into a textured stripe pattern. Increases for the thumb use yarn overs to echo the shawl pattern. Both the top of the mitt and thumb can flip down for more dexterity. Best of all, there are 10 sizes!

One of my favorite places to visit in Yorkshire is Betty’s Tea Room – the original is in Harrogate!

Available as part of Point/Counterpoint Volume 5. Two designers + two yarns = inspiration through collaboration. Each designer independently created an accessory, then sent only a photo of the finished object to the other. In response, the designers used the same yarn to create a new accessory inspired by the first, thus making a set. The only limit is their creativity!
