The Pin Mill Mitts are part of the Easy Everyday Wearables ebook, a collection of garments and accessories that use simple shaping, basic stitches and easy techniques with tutorials to assist you to create beautiful wardrobe staples.

Mitts need to be nice and stretchy to be comfortable with a lovely long cuff to keep chills at bay. You’ll be glad you took the time to work the longer cuff, make them as long as you can, your future winter self will thank you for it. This pair holds two yarns together to give a beautiful halo effect with the mohair but the mitts can be made with a single strand of DK weight yarn instead.
