DESIGNER: Sarah Solomon
The SHEEPSCOT MITTS with their simple texture and utilitarian design are the perfect accompaniment to outdoor chores in cold weather. They are easy to work and suitable for a range of hand sizes. Wool is the original technical fiber and we put our samples to the test during out photo shoot where they ended up stained with oil after working with a chainsaw. A short soak in some warm water with a drop of Dawn dish soap and they were as good as new. We wanted an everyday approach to working with and wearing wool. Handknits don't just have to be for special occasions, they can be a useful and hard-wearing part of our everyday lives.
NOTE: This pattern is worked from the bottom-up.
