YARN
Fingering weight

Samples Used Topsy Farms Fingering weight (400m/100g)

Purple heather (MC) 45g
Light Brown-Gray/Oatmeal (CC) 25g

Note on choosing colors: I chose light brown/gray as the CC to give mittens more of a vintage look to go with the retro feel of the lace cuff. You can always choose off-white/cream to get a more vivid contrast to show off the flowers.

Non-superwash wool will produce a felted look over time.

NEEDLES
2.5mm & 2.75mm DPN or circular needles, long enough to do “Magic Loop”
