Ailsa Craig Mittens
WORKING IN three tweedy shades of blue, teal and yellow, Mary Henderson has created pretty, traditional Fair Isle patterning for her winter accessories set. It comprises a cosy cowl, a hat, and a pair of mittens. Mary has knitted her set using a beautiful worsted-weight alpaca yarn from The Border Mill in Scotland. Yarn quantities given (one skein of each colorway) will make all 3 projects.

Circumference: 22cm (8.5 inches)
Length: 29cm(11 inches)
Mittens are worked in the round from the ribbed cuff with an afterthought thumb.
