Benevolent Hands

This is a pattern for a pair of mittens and muffatees worked from the bottom up and in the round, using the stranded colourwork technique. There are charts for Left and Right mittens & muffatees. Finished size is determined by the needle size. In addition, there are 4 different animals to choose from: Barn Owl, Fox, Squirrel, and Rabbit. And since there are longer floats over some sections, you may want to use the Ladder-back/Invisible Jacquard technique shown on the last page of this pattern. Kits will also be available at Knit Picks with Palette yarn. I have added this version of the pattern (as there are slight differences in size - scroll images to see KP data page), you will see an additional KP pdf when you purchase this pattern here. **yarn:** 2 Ply Jumper Weight by Jamieson & Smith; Light Fingering; 100% Shetland 125yds (115m) / 25 grams **approximate yarn amounts for a pair of mittens:** colour A - 25 (27, 29, 35) g; 107 (115, 124, 149) yds / 98 (105, 113, 137) m colour B - 21 (23, 25, 30) g; 90 (98, 107, 128) yds / 82 (90, 98, 117) m If you are working mitten lining - 25 (27, 29, 35) g; 107 (115, 124, 149) yds / 98 (105, 113, 137) m approximately 40 (43, 46, 56) g of the same or lighter weight yarn such as Shetland Heritage Naturals by Jamieson & Smith (similar yds/m for mohair lining) **needles:** 2.0mm (us no 0) DPNs 6in/15cm; set of 5 2.25mm (us no 1) DPNs 6in/15cm; set of 5 2.5mm (us no 1.5) DPNs 6in/15cm; set of 5 2.75mm (us no 2) DPNs 6in/15cm; set of 5 3.0mm (us no 2.5) DPNs 6in/15cm; set of 5 2.0mm - 3.0mm crochet hook for provisional cast-on **gauge:** 34 (32, 30, 28) sts x 34 (32, 30, 28) rows = 4in/10cm measured over stranded stockinette on 2.25 (2.5, 2.75, 3.0) mm needles **approximate finished size:** circumference - 7.5 (7.75, 8.5, 9) in / 19 (20, 21.5, 23) cm **additional tools:** needle to weave in ends, waste yarn/stitch holder
