I love tulips! It’s probably my favourite flower. I love how many colours and varieties it comes in, and you can have as much fun with your colour choices for these mittens.The Triple Tulip mittens are a colourful burst of joy to knit, and equally fun to wear! The stranded colourwork makes them lovely and warm, and the thumb gusset makes them fit extra nicely and gives a cute detail as well.
