DESCRIPTION

Inspired by the soft, misty landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, these fingerless mitts feature a delicate chevron texture and timeless elegance.

The pattern offers two knitting options—flat on straight needles or in the round—making it an accessible and versatile project for knitters of all levels.

Yarn

Yarn weight = DK weight yarn (03) / DK / Light Worsted / 8 Ply.
I used 1 x Rowan Felted Tweed in Cinnamon 175 (50g/175m/191 yds) for the gloves knit in the round in the medium size. For the large and extra large sizes, you will need 2 x balls.

Needles

4 mm (US 6) Knitting needles.
In the round = 4 mm (US 6) 9” or 16” circular knitting needles.
You can use DPNs or the magic loop method.
