Released just in time for Kiss a Shark Week! (January 23-29th) Escape winter with a dive deep into the ocean for a swim with the sharks. (Go ahead and kiss one if you feel so inclined!)

(Sample mitten knit using Scheepjes Our Tribe in Curio Crafts Room and BlackBerry Black colourways)

Degree of Difficulty
This pattern is perfect for the knitter who is familiar with mitten construction and has experience with stranded knitting and reading charts. There are some long floats so experience in catching those will also be helpful.

Materials:
• Needles - US 2 – 2.75mm circulars for Magic Loop or a set of DPN’s (or size needed to get gauge) PS – I never use DPN’s so I won’t be any help at telling you which stitches go on which needles!
• Yarn – 50g of MC and CC in Fingering Weight yarn. This design has plenty of options for colour. I have not given exact amounts here.
• Stitch markers (mark the thumb gusset for easy placement of increases!)
• Scrap yarn or stitch holder for live thumb stitches (I use a safety pin!)
• Darning needle

Gauge:
• 9 stitches by 10 rows = 2.5cm in stranded colorwork

Size:
• Ladies Medium (20cm (7.75”) from top of cuff to tip of finger, 20.5cm (8”) circumference at the fingers. This is blocked measurements)
