A comfortable, soft and stylish pair of mitts with a deceptively simple look which slims and elongates your hands.

The mitts are knit sideways with provisional cast on and grafted seams to ensure a smooth all-round look. They have graduated welts at the wrist which gathers the fabric in this area and also creates a slight pretty flare at the bottom edge.

The raw stocking stitch sideways edges let the mitts curl in naturally for a soft look. The mitts have a loose, slouchy look over the knuckles and fingers and are long enough to cover your fingers while still leaving them free to use.

Sizing: S = 7”, M = 7.5”, L = 8” (measurement around the knuckles excluding thumb).

Yarn: 2 X 50g of Sublime extra fine Merino are required for all sizes.

Errata: Fifth line on Left Hand should read - Work 7 rows in stocking st

Twelfth line on Left Hand should read - Work in stocking st for 16 (18, 20) rows
