Heppinn Mittens

• Simple mitts, light as a feather, made from a single strand of Plotulopi
• Constructed with an easy peasant thumb
• Heppinn means LUCKY in Icelandic

Mitts fitt with 0 - ½ of positive ease, like wearing clouds on your hands.

They are offered in one size which can be easily adapted in length. With a bit more thought, different sizes can be achieved with gauge, for a smaller circumference mitten go down a needle size and get a smaller gauge, plötulopi is extremely adaptable this way.

Although plötulopi seems fragile it is quite strong once knit. I have worn a pair of plötulopi mittens for over two years with no problems, though I would not recommend wearing them for heavy work like hauling wood.

The mittens don’t take much yarn at all. I’ve made a generous estimate of yardage so if your yarn breaks you’ll still have enough. 

Heppinn Mittens are a great first go at using plötulopi, a great project to experiment with. The key to success is to relax!
