The Berries mittens draw inspiration from classic Scandinavian stranded knitting patterns. One of the motifs features little red bobbles — the “berries” that the mittens were named after. You’ll need four colors and a bit of patience!

The Berries mittens are worked with four colors in different stranded colorwork patterns, one of them featuring little red bobbles. A gusseted thumb ensures a comfortable fit. If the mittens turn out too short when worked as written, you can add an extra repeat of the berry motif or extend the snowy pattern at the tip.
