The Dalat mitts are comfy fingerless mittens featuring a playful colorwork motif worked in two contrasting colors.

It’s a quick project, well suited for stranded colorwork novices. Instructions on how to deal with long floats on the wrong side of the work are included.

The name of the mitts comes from a lovely town in the Vietnamese mountains covered with pine forests, which is what inspired the design.
