Spring may be officially here, but there’s every chance we’ll have more than a few chilly days ahead! Keep your arms feeling toasty with these elbow-length mitts, designed by Caroline Birkett. They’re decorated with a pretty stranded colourwork rose pattern, and finished with simple rolled edges. The armwarmers use Jamieson & Smith’s classic Jumper Weight yarn. This is a 4ply Shetland wool that comes in a huge choice of colours, so you can pick the perfect shades to complement your coat!
