These mittens feature a Bull Terrier on a backdrop of houndstooth patterning. Because they use aran weight yarn, it’s a very speedy knit!

PATTERN INFO
Sizes: 1 and 2

Size 1 would fit snugly on most people who consider themselves to have medium hands. Choose the bigger size for a looser fit or for people with larger hands.

Exactly how much of each used will depend on if you do the cuff in the main or contrast colour.

Managing colourwork floats.
Reading a chart.
Basic increases (knit front and back) and decreases (knit 2 together, knit 2 together through the back loop).
