SPRAOI MITTENS

Spraoi is a coordinating cowl and mittens set which have the look of traditional colourwork knitting, but they are crochet through and through! While the split stitch mimics the ‘v’ of knitted stocking stitch, the resulting fabric is much denser.

Featured in Issue 1 Autumn/Winter 2021 of Moorit.
