The Glitz Mittens are packed with hearts and a sprinkling of speckles. These little speckles add some glamour to your mittens and also create a lovely place for your self-striping yarn to transition smoothly from one color to the next. The Glitz Mittens are knit in the round, from the bottom up, using stranded colorwork. The self-striping yarn creates a big impact in this project with little effort and just a few ends to weave in. If you’ve been wondering about what your self-striping yarn would look like in a stranded colorwork project, these mittens are a wonderful place to test out your curiosity.
