**THIS PURCHASE IS FOR THE KNITTING PATTERN ONLY**
Fingering weight yarn is a great way to create detail in a project and it's my favourite for mittens with any colour work involved. You can get more details using a fingering weight yarn. This particular pattern uses a light fingering.
The colours you choose has an important role in how the design will look when it's done. The colours I chose remind me of a tapestry.
