Vilan means ‘The rest’ in Swedish. They were, when I was making them, my rest from a busy life. I love colorwork mittens and wanted a pair with that little extra. Vilan came out of that.

They are small woman’s size and quite narrow, with my gauge and yarn the size of a finished mitten is:
Cuff 8 cm tall, 19,5 cm around.
Hand 19 cm around, 18 cm long from wrist to cast-off.

I used up, in total, 30 grams of white background color, 30 grams light pink, 10 grams magenta, 20 grams gold.

In the pattern: Stranded knitting with up to 4 colors at once, provisional cast-on, folded hem, kitchener stitch.

Tools: 2x 2,5 mm circular needles, darning needle, yarn guide.
