Akkrum fingerless mitts and mittens are made with two different worsted weight yarns for warmth, texture and color play. I’ve used Berroco Ultra Alpaca, a blend of 50% wool and 50% alpaca along with Berroco Tiramisu, a mohair and self striping wool blend. The pattern stitch is an easy striped, broken rib pattern that is very stretchy. The mitts and mittens will stretch to fit most adult hands!
