Hedgehog Hands and Fuzzy Bear Mitts

$5.00

Here are two funky mitt patterns both of which feature a new hand dyed mohair boucle yarn from Cape May Fibre Co. The fabric of the boucle is so soft against the skin and is super warm. It looks wonderful when paired with a smooth yarn as was done here or on its own as a hat, scarf, or sweater.
