These mittens are made using the stranded knitting technique and DK-weight yarn, to keep hands warm. The cuff is knitted in linen stitch to keep the fabric firm around your wrists. This pattern comes in two sizes, medium (20cm/8” hand circumference) and large (23cm/9” hand circumference). The pattern is written out and contains a fair-isle chart for the colourwork.

Materials Required:

  • 124m/136y DK yarn for the main colour
  • 91m/100y DK yarn for the contrast colour
  • 3.5mm DPNs

  • 1 large safety pin (to act as a stitch holder)
