Mittens inspired by the pattern in clue #21 of Mystery Scarf 23.

Size
Woman medium.
The mittens can easily be made a little smaller or larger by using thinner or thicker yarn and/or needles.

Yarn suggestions
2-ply fingering wool, for example Spindrift from Jamieson of Shetland, 2-ply Jumper Weight from Jamieson & Smith, Rauma Finullgarn Hillesvåg Sølje or similar yarn that gives you the right gauge. Choose your colours, mix & match, use scrap yarn! I used one background colour, and many different shades of the pattern colour. For the light pops I used a slightly thicker yarn. You need approximately 60 g altogether, 35 g of the background colour, and 25 g of the pattern colour, and just a few grams of the pop colour.
