Lollipop Mittens (EN)

€5.50

Mittens so yummy you’ll want to eat them up! This is a perfect project to use up some of that stashed away scrap yarn, or an excellent excuse to go bananas in the yarn shop and choose 4 delightful colors. Also, no second mittens syndrome here - since the color order changes for the second one, it doesn’t get boring or tedious to repeat. Actually, you might find it very addictive to think of even more color combinations after you’ve made your first pair! 

The mittens are knitted using 4 mm (US6) DPNs or circular ones for magic loop technique from the cuff to the top, and the thumb is worked last by picking up stitches.

Pattern first published in my book Knit this! 21 Gorgeous everyday knit patterns
