Sackets Harbor Mittens

During my summer sojourns, Sackets Harbor is the first signpost once I’ve left the interstate. It’s a quiet gem, the first leg of the Seaway Trail, and offers gorgeous, cool Lake Ontario vistas. It has a slightly retro vibe with roadside bars and cafes closed years ago by the building of I-81. I love it, and I often fantasize about how it must look in the off-season, foggy and damp with big fat snowflakes falling on icy waters. That’s my inspiration for the Sackets Harbor Hat and the matching Sackets Harbor Mittens.

These mittens, suitable for men and women, are a simple stranded knitting project perfect for the first-time fair isle knitter. Mittens are worked seamlessly from the cuff upward and feature a fully fashioned thumb gusset.
