After making my Drinker’s Mitts I thought it would be fun to make some designs for various holidays :)
You just need a background color and really small amounts for the remaining colors.

A few notes on size - these were knit with a gauge of 8 stitches to an inch. I find it very difficult to keep a loose gauge while knitting colorwork so I went up a needle size (I used a size 2) and I was VERY careful to keep my floats loose. They fit me (a woman’s M hand). If you want to make these larger, I’d suggest using sport weight and a bigger needle and aim for a gauge of 7 to 7.5 stitches per inch.
