Stay cozy this fall with Bofur’s fingerless mitts. Originally inspired by his character in the recent movie, The Hobbit, these mitts are knit with a chunky alpaca and merino blend to show off the rugged texture of Seed Stitch. The mitts are worked in the round on double pointed needles, with the thumb picked up and worked afterwards.
