MoJo Rekindled

Sometimes inspiration fades – but when it returns, it comes back with a purpose. MoJo Mitts are a celebration of rediscovered creativity, a spark reignited with every stitch. These mitts are my reminder that creativity always finds its way back to us. There’s also a matching MoJo Beanie.

You will work in the round, from the wrist. The mitts are formed by working simple knits and purls. You will be increasing for the thumb and placing stitches on hold.

Written in full with handy progress check boxes, so you can keep a visual track of where you are.

I have formatted this pattern in such a way that you should only need to print page 3 and 4.

Saving the planet one unprinted page at a time.

If you like the look of this pattern it would be a huge help to me if you would give it a like as I have an overflowing notebook of ideas and this helps me understand what to work on next. Your support of my little dream is so appreciated. Every ‘like’ helps and it’s a known fact I do a tiny happy dance each time I get a notification. I am a terrible dancer!
