My Sunshine features a tiny sun-like pattern on the back of each hand - perfect to remind ourselves through the colder seasons that Summer will return. This is a fairly fast knit, so it’s ideal for seasonal gifting.

This pattern is available in three sizes and is a gender-neutral knit

SKILLS
These wrist warmers are knitted in the round on circular needles. Stitches for the thumb gusset are increased as the mitt is worked and stitches for the thumbs are picked up later and knitted. Cuffs are a simple rib and the patterning on the back of each hand is easy to work.

• increase stitches: M1R and M1L
• knitting stitches together
• picking up stitches
• working in the round

Full instructions for working the decorative pattern are included
