These colourful mittens mimic the traditional Fair Isle style of knitting.

The mittens are constructed in alternating rows of 3 colours, though could be adapted to use multiple colours from your stash. A series of dc, sc and ch-spaces create the design.

This is a written pattern that also contains a symbol chart of the pattern stitches.

The mittens in the photographs were crocheted with Patons Classic Wool Worsted in Navy, Plum Heather, and Natural Mix with a 5.0mm hook.

This pattern is suitable for the intermediate crocheter or the ambitious advanced-beginner.
