Mushrooms
£6.00
Knitting a whimsical magic mushroom motif is always a delight! These gloves feature a charming cable cuff with rows of playful mushrooms. For those who love extra detail, the signature white dots can be embroidered afterward for a crisp, polished finish, perfect for creating the ultimate magic mushroom gloves. Want to make the cable details pop? Try knitting the cuff in a slightly lighter shade to highlight the texture. Let your hands showcase a touch of magic!
Construction
The gloves are worked from the bottom up. The mushroom motif is knitted using the Fair Isle technique, and the white dots on the mushroom caps can be embroidered afterward as an optional finishing touch.
