While I have raised Angora rabbits in the past, it’s been a few years since I used any Angora yarn. When I felt the little Bunny Tails that my friend had in her shop, I knew they were meant for a pair of cute and quirky mitts. Pairing the yarn with a cable and seed stitch heart gave me just the right combination of challenge, luxury, and fun.

Whether you choose the touch of luxury in the Bunny Tails or use some other special yarn, these little mitts work up satisfyingly fast and are so much fun to wear.

This pattern is meant for an intermediate to advanced knitter and all those in-between.
