Suri alpaca is known for it’s softness and warmth. This lovely beret uses a suri-and-merino blend for the band and brushed suri for the beret. The slouchy style is soft, warm, and comfortable. The fingerless mitts are the perfect chill chasers in soft-as-down suri with merino. The back-look slip stitch gives the mitts lots of stretch to fit a wide range of hand sizes, and the simple construction with easy thumb opening make them a fast and easy project.

There is approx 2” to 2.5” stretch to fit a variety of sizes.*
