Wool Hat and Mittens by a Bench

A mustard hat has been left on the bench beside red mittens and a striped scarf. Snow dust clings to the wool near the cuffs, while the old wood shows pale scratches and darker knots. A simple peg rail and cool wall keep the entryway quiet behind the clothing.

Knit ribs repeat, but they change direction when the hat folds over. Mitten thumbs make stronger clues than their red color, especially where one overlaps the scarf. Bench boards offer long edges and clear grain. Sort the snow dust with the wall only after checking for wool fibers, since both can produce small pale pieces with soft boundaries.
