Pretty cables and textures adorn this beautiful hat and fingerless mitten set. Knitted in luxuriously soft Whitfell DK they make the perfect accessories to keep you toasty and warm on cold and frosty days.
This pattern was originally published by Anna, however partly due to the new EU VAT legislation, we have re-issued it for her, with a fresh new edit and layout. We hope you like the new look.
