The Design
m i t t e n s by w i e s e k n i t is at knitting pattern for a pair of mittens which is elegant, simple and have some beautiful details.
The pattern is written in an easy to understand language, and with few technical explanations.
A long the way I will guide you to measure the mittens, so you will end up with a pair of mittens that fits exactly to your hand.
The pattern is an ideal candidate for a scrap yarn project as you only need around 50 g of yarn.
