♈Aries the Ram, first sign of the Zodiac, known for their fiery energy, fearless attitude and leadership qualities, even if a little impatient and easily bored. But I think even the fire signs need mittens in winter to keep them warm. If you agree, then this knitting pattern is for you (or your Aries bestie you are knitting for). A Ram, a mystical flame, and a ring of Aries Zodiac symbols are all contained in this easy to follow, charted knitting pattern.

Recommended for intermediate knitters familiar with reading charts and stranded colorwork. You can knit these mittens in any two contrasting colors in the yarn of your choice. I have chosen red and orange for one pair and orange and black for the second pair as the colors remind me of flame, but hey, don’t let my imagination hold you back.

The mittens pictured were knit using sock / fingering weight and US size 1 / 2.25mm needles for a women’s - medium size. You could easily knit a larger mitten using larger needles or adjust to a smaller mitten using smaller needles.
