Broughton

The Broughton mittens features simple but effective small repeating stitch patterns, combined with a bold geometric cuff pattern. They include some new, fun techniques like the Estonian Kihnu braids at the cuff, and feature an optional flip-top opening. Ysolda designed the flip-tops because she wanted to be able to quickly use her fingers without risking a mitten falling in a puddle! For extra warmth, softness and a neat finish the mittens are lined with lambswool, which is used held double to add a pop of contrast on the cuffs.

About the yarn

3 tr. Strikke has been used for Norwegian stockings and mittens for decades and has stood the test of time. Knit at a tight gauge, as it is for these mittens, it's hardwearing and weather proof. Lamull is a soft, lightweight lambswool that's traditionally popular for baby clothes – it's perfect for a cosy mitten lining that will trap warm close to your hands.
