DESCRIPTION
The Kindra Mittens are the third pattern in my Kindra series which also includes a hat and cowl. These mittens use DK weight yarn for a lightweight feel, yet the stranded colorwork gives them an added layer of warmth. They are knit in the round starting with the cuff. Each size features it’s own colorwork chart for the left and right hand. Waste yarn is used to hold the afterthought thumb stitches that are later picked up and knit after finishing the hand section of the mitten.
