Obelisk Mitts

The Obelisk Mitts are the perfect companion for those in between days – when summer is a little chilly, or autumn is mild. The snug fit of the ribbed edges make sure they stay in place, and the overall colourwork is both pretty and adds warmth and durability. Choose three solid colours for a soft striped look, or a colour changing yarn like Spincycle Dyed in the Wool for a more whimsical result!
