As a collaboration with Enchanted Grove Alpacas, these ridiculously soft and warm mittens feature a bare branched tree that wraps around the sides of each mitten and onto the palm. With Norwegian selbu stars and a pine tree on each thumb, the colourwork of the mittens grows out of a golden-wheat coloured ribbed cuff.

The mittens made as written here will fit a women’s XS/S. By choosing a heavier weight of yarn and/or larger needles you can easily adapt the pattern to fit a larger size. Swatch it up and see what combination works for you.

Pictured mittens have been knit using three different skeins of Enchanted Grove Alpacas Alpaca 3-ply in the following colours: golden wheat, natural white, and natural black.
