Wholehearted Mittens

These fun colorwork mittens pair beautifully with the Wholehearted Hat and Wholehearted Cowl! The same heart motif is used to create these cute mittens. A peasant thumb helps to give these mittens the classic look. Written for a medium adult size, other sizes can be achieved by using a different gauge. The short motif allows for some room for lengthening/ shortening the hand portion. **Skills** - How to read a knitting chart, stranded colorwork knitting, how to increase and decrease stitches, how to put stitches on hold for thumb **Materials:** Worsted weight yarn: for size M as charted MC ~ 140 yards/ 128 meters CC ~ 45 yards/ 41 meters Recommended yarn: Laines du Nord Vasto, Kelbourne Woolens Germantown US 3/ 3.25mm needles for cuff (optional) US 4/ 3.5mm needles (shorties, DPNs, or circular needles for magic loop method) *Stitch marker *Tapestry needle *Scissors *Scrap yarn for peasant thumb (smooth is best, ~12”) **Finished size if knit according to gauge:** Circumference: ~21 cm/ 8.3” Length (including cuff): ~24.75cm/ 9.75” *** Purchases of 3 or more patterns in one transaction receive 15% off.***
