Shamballah mittens are fingerless mittens, with some simple colour work, and a little pop of colour. The mittens are designed with a bit more length than most, and are best worn with a touch of ease for a comfort fit.There are 2 versions; one is knitted in the round, another is knit flat in a heavier weight yarn and then seamed on finishing.

With your purchase you can also download a mobile phone friendly version of the pattern which has been formatted specifically for viewing on a smartphone.
