Product Details

These mittens feature alpacas amidst a variety of fair isle bands of differing widths to add visual interest. Designed for a friend who raises alpaca, the sample was knit with handspun yarn from her herd. Two sizes are offered; for smaller mittens consider using smaller needles and/or finer yarn. For larger mittens, consider using heavier weight yarn and/or larger needles. Suggested commercial yarn would be an alpaca/wool blend. Pattern was fully test knit in both sizes- thanks Cait, Sabine, Edie, Linda & Sharon!
