The Rail Trail Mitts aren’t just convertible – they’re convertibly convertible! The pattern includes directions for fingerless mitts, full mittens, or convertible mitts that turn into mittens with a flip of its top. The fun colorwork pattern pulls double duty, providing both visual interest and extra warmth and durability.

The rich colors of BFL Fingering will be a hit with outdoorsy folks who need to keep their hands warm. (HINT: Anyone who bikes to work in cold weather)

There has been a certain chill in the air in the evenings this past week in New England that is starting to make us think of the Autumn days to come. It’s the perfect time to start picking up little projects that will keep you warm in the coming seasons.

The Swirl Hat combines a surprisingly simple, naturally spiraling stitch pattern with the rich colors of BFL Fingering Hand Dyed by the Kangaroo Dyer to create a warm, earth-toned hat that’s great for a man or woman. Hold two strands of yarn together throughout. Note – to hold 2 strands together from one skein, we recommend winding the skein into a center-pull ball and pulling from both the inside and the outside of the ball.
