These mitts are a warm hug for your hands. Our Elmer Fingering yarn is the star of this simple colorwork pattern--it works up into a soft, sturdy stranded fabric where the woolen-spun wool really shines in tandem with a hint of cashmere halo. Make a pair to match your Diamond Cowl. We bet you’ll make a few pair to give to friends too!
