Alvea Mittens

he Alvea Mittens are a celebration of texture and elegance, worked in the round in a delicate honeycomb pattern, starting from the cuff. This design offers two harmonious variations: classic full-fingered mittens, and shorter fingerless mitts that reach the base of the little finger, providing versatile styling options. The thumb is seamlessly integrated, creating a polished and snug fit, while the gentle halo of mohair adds a soft, dreamy finish to every stitch. These mittens are a joy to wear and a pleasure to gift.
