Inspired by Jamie’s tartan with a pop of teal, the Lovat fingerless mitts take their design cues from traditional Scottish colorwork. The intricate colorplay of Fair Isle knitting has been simplified to make the Lovat set appealing to knitters eager to try their hand at one of the most famous Scottish styles. The Frasers of Lovat are a Highland clan strongly associated with the area around Inverness; this set could have easily been worn by clanswomen on a damp autumn’s day in the Highlands.

The fingerless mitts are worked in the round, and never use more than two colours per row, as per traditional Fair Isle techniques. They have a simple construction with no shaping, making them an ideal project for beginners seeking to build their colorwork skills.
