Broken rib stitch pattern, a ‘sore thumb’, and buttonholes at the index finger and thumb for easy access to touch-screen devices: Bits and pieces of design stitched together to create tech-friendly mittens for the modern Überwaldian. (Thanks to Sir Terry Pratchett’s ‘Discworld’ character for the inspiration!)

These legwarmers, with the flared bottom cuff, will give good coverage of the entire ankle joint. Perfect if you’re out in the cold or, like me, you have tetchy ankles that just can’t stand a draft.

Although it was pointed out to me by more than one person I had an epic fail in reading my own chart. The instructions for the left gusset have been corrected - sorry for the confusion!
