TWO DESIGNS IN ONE PATTERN! The sweetest pairs of buggy mittens can be made for the children in your life with this digital download. Choose from either a beetle chart or ladybug chart, three size options, and even an alphabet to add the recipient’s name around the wrist. As with all my patterns, artwork is added throughout the pattern for an eye-catching experience while you knit these little mitts. For an added bonus, I’ve also included beetle and ladybug coloring pages for your little ones (or for you!).
