These DK-weight intarsia mitts feature the iconic outline of the Isle of Muck as the main motif on the back of the hands. The mitts are mostly worked in the round, with the exception of the intarsia section, which is worked back and forth before being re-joined for the top of the mitt. The thumb is then picked up from the stitches at the edge of the intarsia section and the remaining gap sewn closed. The perfect companion to the Small Isles Snood; both patterns can be made from two 100g skeins of contrasting colour yarns.
