I made these mittens with left over Lanaloft wool and Andean mist alpaca. I didn’t have enough for a traditional thumb gusset, so this afterthought thumb was perfect.
I decided on a chunky Shawlette. This pattern on Ravelry called Burrow is just a simple quick knit. The yarn by Borgo dePazzi is 100% wool is super fun to knit with, like cotton candy.
