Hummel Doddies

Hummel Doddies is the Doric phrase for fingerless gloves or mittens, ideal for keeping your hands and wrists warm in the year-round brisk North Sea winds of the Aberdeenshire coast. These Hummel Doddies are knitted in the round using the circular magic loop technique and if using more than one colour, jogless stripes. Both mittens are worked the same – alternatively you could switch the colours for each mitten.
