“I have designed these mittens using a subtle colourwork pattern in brown and green shades of Jamieson & Smith’s Shetland wool,” explains Outi Kater. “They have stripy 2x2 ribbing at the cuffs, knitted using two shades of brown with low contrast. Wider stripes continue as a background for the green stranded colourwork stitch pattern. The mittens have Norwegian thumb gussets, which give them a good fit.”
