Castle Mitts

Fun colourwork mitts in warm cosy baby Alpaca. Perfect for keeping your hands warm on a cold winters day. Have fun choosing colours for your mitts, pair neutrals for a crisp clean winter look or add bright contrasting colours to brighten a dreary day.

Although this pattern was written for Whitfell DK, it would be just as good in Milburn DK and many other of our DK yarns.
