Pretty, lacy mittens, in a simple shell pattern, made in the round with thumb added. Sooooo soft and stretchy.

One of my all time favourite wools, the beautiful Drops Alpaca 4/5 ply, in loads of gorgeous colours and fab value, from Garnstudio.
The multicolour mittens are made in Drops Delight.
They use only one ball and the only sewing is to hide your ends.

The pattern includes options for making smaller or bigger mitts and can easily be adapted to DK or even Aran weight yarn.

I can’t stop making these!
