The Light As A Feather Mitts design is a collaboration with Campfiber Yarns to explore their gorgeous new Yak Silk DK yarn. These beautifully textured mitts knit up quickly, and are so light, easy, and comfortable to wear. The Light As A Feather Mitts are knit in one solid colour from the cuff up, featuring a ribbed cuff, deliciously squishy waffle texture in the middle, and three options for the top: a fold-over ribbed open top, a short ribbed open top, or a closed top mitten.

You can also knit the matching fingering-weight hat pattern that started the Light As A Feather set, as well as the free DK-weight cowl pattern!

Negative ease is built in to the pattern. The lengths are adjustable. If you find that you are in-between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your mitts to fit snug, or the larger size if you prefer a looser fit.
