Add cozy fingerless mitts to your handmade accessory collection with Valley Yarns Opal! These seamless mitts are knit in the round from the cuff up to the fingers with integrated thumb gussets for a great fit. Mirrored zig-zagging cables decorate the back of each hand for an interesting detail while you knit and a stylish detail when you wear them. Valley Yarns Amherst is a smooth, soft Merino wool yarn that ensures your finished mitts will be warm, soft, and comfortable to wear all winter long. Consider making a few extra pairs of Opal mitts to have handmade gifts on hand this holiday season! Cable patterns are both charted and written out.
