Capricious Mitts

“Not all those who wander are lost…” J. R. R. Tolkien

The perfect complement to the Capricious Hat, these mitts will keep your hands warm wherever you may wander. The petals of lace appear to grow out of the ribbed cuff and along the back of the hand, while twisted ribbing curves across the palm to cradle the thumb.
