Flower Bed Mitts

£5
(Excluding VAT)

Covered with an assortment of colourwork flowers, the Flower Bed Mitts are the perfect project for fans of stranded colourwork. Seeing the different flowers form as you knit makes these mitts difficult to put down!

Sizing

Sizes: 1 (2, 3)
Finished hand circumference: 7 (8, 9)” / 18 (20.5, 23) cm
To measure the circumference of your hand measure your palm horizontally just below your knuckles (at the widest part of your hand), keeping your fingers relaxed.
These mitts are designed to be worn with either zero ease or up to 1” of positive ease, so if you’re between sizes I would recommend choosing the larger size.
The sample mitts are shown in size 1 on 6.5” / 16.5 cm circumference hands.
