Haze mittens

The Haze mittens are designed for cold days and everyday wear. The long cuff can be folded double for extra warmth at the wrists, while the thumbs are shaped with gusset increases for a natural, comfortable fit. A simple colorwork pattern is worked over the hand, adding subtle texture without complicating the knitting. Worked in fingering-weight yarn held together with a strand of lace-weight yarn such as mohair or suri alpaca, the fabric becomes soft and slightly haloed. For a more defined look, the mittens can also be knit in a single strand of DK-weight yarn, resulting in clearer stitch definition and a more structured finish.
