A really cosy pair of fingerless mittens!
This is NOT brioche :)

These lovely warm fingerless mitts are knitted from the cuff up using double stranded mohair and a 4 ply yarn striped together. Left and right mitt are the same and the final effect can be changed by your choise of hand dyed, machine dyed or self striping yarns!
And when your fingers get chilli, simply unfold your fingerless mitten top!
