These adorable mittens feature a pretty snowflake pattern, garter ridge cuffs, and striped thumbs. Worked in a soft yarn with a reasonable amount of stretch, they will be wonderfully cozy.

The snowflake pattern is worked with the mitten held inside-out, so that the pattern stitch can be easily accomplished in the round. A variety of needle sizes are used to accommodate the gauges of the various stitches.

Skills/Techniques Required:

  • Basic mitten knitting skills
  • Working small circumferences in the round
  • Two-color stripes
  • Star stitch using p3together
