Missoni Inspired Gloves - Colourful ZigZag (CH0441)

Missoni Inspired Gloves in Colourful ZigZags – well, you can guess where I got the inspiration from right? Missoni stripes and zig zags are so distinctive. And so pleasing that eventually I knew it would just absolutely make me want to make something that emulated that joyful and pleasing combinations of colours and stripes.

These Missoni Inspired Gloves are also inspired for colouring anyone with happiness. They will fit in the range for medium to large hands.

The crochet stitches here produce a very comfortingly thick fabric – almost like a double layer. Ensuring comfort and warmth. The fabric is dense with none of the holey aspects that can happen with crochet work. The yarn is very soft and natural.

The Missoni Inspired Gloves are designed for happy, bright colours to liven your day. And dense comfort to warm any chilly excursion you wish to make.
