The Ostara mitts are fun project for spring when the air is still a little bit cold. It’s a fun and fast little knit and it’s a great joy to see the lovely daffodils and the bunny emerging!
The mitts are a sibling to the, lady luck mitts, honeybee mitts, sionnach mitts and the tyto mitts with the same construction.
The mitts are knitted in jamiesons of shetland in the colours:
104 Natural white, 108 moorit, 259 Leprechaun, 390 Daffodil,
101 Black

I also can recommend Rauma finull, tuku fingering or Jamiesons and Smith 2ply jumper weight.

You need:
Approximately 180 yards/ 160 m of main colour (white)
Approximately 100 yards/ 90 m of contrast colour 1 (yellow)
Approximately 100 yards/90 m of contrast colour 3 (brown)
Approximately 50 yards/40 m contrast colour 2 (green)
A few meters/yards of black, orange, beige and light pink fingering weight yarn

The mitts are knitted with 2.25 mm needles and come in one size.
