Hilja Mitts Knitting Kit – Designed by Aleks Byrd

Create a pair of stunning fingerless mitts inspired by 1930s Estonian motifs with the Hilja Mitts Knitting Kit. Designed by Aleks Byrd, these wrist warmers feature the traditional Roosimine inlay technique, producing a distinctive embroidered pattern that’s both eye-catching and steeped in heritage.
