Inspired by sugar skulls, these morbid mittens are covered in bold graphic patterns and imagery. The powerful skull on the front is balanced by lots of flowery details. Contrast between the two yarns is key to a mitten that really pops. They are knit long to keep your bones from catching chill.

Knit from the cuff up, these mittens use decorative braids to flank the cuff detail. All over patterning makes this pattern not for the colorwork-shy.
