Here are two funky mitt patterns both of which feature a new hand dyed mohair boucle yarn from Cape May Fibre Co. The fabric of the boucle is so soft against the skin and is super warm. It looks wonderful when paired with a smooth yarn as was done here or on its own as a hat, scarf, or sweater.

Measurements:
To fit adult hand size: S/M (M/L, L/XL).
Finished Circumference: 7 (8, 9)”/ 18 (20.5, 23) cm.
Finished Length: 7 (7 ½, 8)” / 18 (19, 20) cm. (easily adjustable)

Yarn:
2 strands of sock yarn held together or dk weight yarn, matching Loopy Boucle yarn.

Samples shown are size S/M and were knit in Cape May Fiber Co. Sock in Natural (Yarn A) with two strands held together and Cape May Fiber Mohair Loop in Sweater Weather (Yarn B).
One skein of boucle plus one skein sock or dk weight is more than enough to make both sets of mitts.

Needles:
For Yarn A: Set of US 4 (3.5mm) and 5 (3.75mm) double pointed needles or size needle to obtain correct gauge.
For Yarn B: Set of US 9 (5.5mm) double pointed needles or size needle to obtain correct gauge.
~Feel free to use double pointed needles or whatever is your preferred needle for working small circumferences in the round~

Gauge:
For Yarn A: 22 sts and 32 rows = 4” (10cm) in st st on larger needle.
For Yarn B: 12 sts = 4” (10 cm) in St st.
