Dianna has long been known for her simple, effective, and approachable colourwork designs, and these mittens showcase that to perfection! Mittens are an ideal first colourwork project: with a small circumference, they knit up satisfyingly fast. And no need to worry about floats, as each strand is only carried behind 2 stitches at a time! Knit in luxurious cashmere yarn, these are a treat for your hardworking hands, whether you are a beginner colourwork knitter or a seasoned Fair Isle fan.
