The O Tannenbaum mitten pattern is done using the mosaic technique. Mosaic knitting is a method of colorwork, and it is more stretchy than stranded knitting because it doesn’t have long floats. Also, only one color is used at a time, making it easier for beginners. This mosaic mitten pattern contains instructions to make both full mittens (fingered) and fingerless mittens.
