Cape Otway
Cape Otway Mitts are a stunning accessory inspired by the breathtaking beauty of Victoria’s western coast, where the Southern Ocean meets Bass Strait. Named after the picturesque Cape Otway, these mitts capture the essence of this unique landscape with their wave lace design.
Crafted from beautiful hand-dyed yarn in the captivating Bass Strait colourway, the Cape Otway mitts combine elegance and functionality. The design features a delicate wave lace cuff that adds a touch of sophistication while ensuring a cozy fit around the wrist. The fingers are also adorned with the same lovely wave lace pattern, creating a cohesive and stylish look. The mitts have a stocking stitch hand and thumb, complete with a gusset for enhanced comfort and flexibility, allowing for freedom of movement while keeping your hands warm.
**Note:** There is a single set of instructions available, with the smaller mitts worked at a tighter gauge to provide a snug fit.
