Löf Mittens

These simple, super-warm mittens inspired by the Old Shale motif are designed to keep you cosy in the sharp winds of the colder months.  Löf is Shetland dialect for ‘hand’ or ‘in my hand’ and plays on meanings of handcraft, the handmade and the incredible things we can construct with yarn in our hands.

This pattern provides instructions for a medium (large - or more relaxed fit)+ adult hand.

With thanks to Louise who suggested the name.
