Alva Mittens are soft and elegant, with a decorative lace edging that adds a feminine touch.
The mittens are worked in the round on double-pointed needles. The decorative edging is worked first, using two strands of Silk Mohair held together. Then continue with one strand of Silk Mohair and one strand of VIP by Lana Gatto held together.
After the lace edging, a ribbed cuff is worked to ensure a snug fit around the wrist. The hand is then worked in stockinette stitch, with increases for the thumb. The thumb stitches are placed on hold while the rest of the mitten is completed. Finally, the lace edging is folded over the ribbed cuff.
