I went to see friends in Denmark and on the way home from a restaurant one night my friend’s step daughter Ophelia borrowed my Angle mitts. They fit her perfectly and I was tempted to give them to her, but I needed them to finish writing their pattern so I had to abstain. Instead I designed these mitts specifically for Ophelia.

These mitts are worked cuff-up. You need 3 different colors of yarn in similar weight. The right and left mitt are identical so no risk of mistakes there.
