Brixham Mitts Kit by Fay Dashper-Hughes (Annual Five)

£26.00 - £50.00

We now offer handy kits for all our patterns in The Annual (issue five)! These are the joyful Brixham Mitts by Fay Dashper-Hughes, a nod to glorious seaside walks in the form of a cosy crochet mitts pattern.

All kits include enough yarn to crochet the mitts, along with a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Please be aware that the kit does not include a copy of The Annual – you can get your copy here. Happy knitting!

Fay Dashper-Hughes’ Brixham Mitts are inspired by the waves gently lapping at the shore. They come in two versions – fingerless and full mitts – and invite you to choose your favourite soothing blues or introduce a pop of bright colour!

This pattern is designed for 4ply / Fingering yarns – we couldn’t resist playing with different colour schemes in our Devonia 4ply, Exmoor Sock, Harvest Hues 4ply and Devon Naturals 4ply:
