Flora Mitts

These beautiful Fair Isle mitts are inspired by a stunning Fair Isle Yoke cardigan I inadvertently purchased from my Auntie on eBay. I fell in love with the harmonious colors in the yoke, which sparked my creativity to design these mitts featuring the same captivating motifs and vibrant color palette. This pattern is not only aesthetically pleasing but also a fantastic way to utilize your odds and ends of yarn, making it an ideal project for stash-busting enthusiasts.

Crafted using traditional Shetland glove construction techniques, these mitts showcase a striking chequerboard palm pattern that ensures there are no floats for your fingers to get caught in, providing both comfort and functionality. The use of an afterthought thumb allows for a quick and efficient knitting process, enabling you to complete the entire mitt before returning to finish the thumb. This method promotes a smooth workflow, especially for knitters looking for an engaging project that can be completed in a few cozy evenings.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner eager to expand your skills, this Fair Isle mitts pattern offers a delightful challenge that combines tradition with contemporary style.
