These snuggly fingerless mitts tip a hat to the Union Jack with their red, white and blue colour scheme, and use a scrumptious angora blend yarn from a small company in the Orkney Islands of Scotland. These are a perfect first colourwork project, as there are large sections where only one colour is used. In addition, the colourwork instructions are presented in both charted and written formats, so you can pick which set to use! With an afterthought thumb and twisted ribbing, these mitts are the perfect travelling project.
