Ferryboat mitts

Misti alpaca worsted

Misti Alpaca worsted

This is a terribly satisfying quick knit.

Misti Alpaca Worsted in the Frida colourway (so earthy and jolly)
Knit in the round on 4 mm needles

I love how the ribbing snugs this glove to the hand. Also a fan of the decreases at the top (which is so genius because otherwise they do get a bit flopsy) and the amazing thumb gusset branches (doesn't it look like a little tree?). More of these most definitely in my future.

    isn't that thumb gusset just to DIE for!?!?!? that's what pushed me right over the edge... those 'branches'.
