Maika mittens are worked seamlessly from the bottom to top.
Knit Maika in your favorite colors and you will never leave home without them.
This cute stranded colorwork pattern goes so fast! It is perfect for last minute gifts and to use up leftovers.
I knitted these mittens with Finkhof Merino duenn, an ecological yarn. I love it for colorwork!
Sock yarn held double will also work well.
If you want matching socks, please have a look at my Plamena pattern!
Maika mitts are also there.

Thanks a lot dear Tanja for testing!
