BEADED PINE WINTER MITTS
You can find the paper pattern here.
You can also find download patterns on Ravelry and Etsy.
In the winter months I get really cold hands, especially when typing, knitting, or crocheting, so I am always on the lookout for things to keep
my fingers and wrists warm. I find mitts less restrictive than gloves and I have quite a few pairs so that I can mix and match what I am wearing.
I think mitts help keep aches and pains in my wrists at bay during the cold weather too, as they keep everything nice and toasty!
I wanted to design a pair of mitts with a simple ‘Scandi’ feel, looking at pine forests and snowy landscapes as the inspiration.
The beaded tree is a little tricky to create, but I am so happy with the way it turned out after lots of sampling!
To begin with the mitts are made as a flat piece from the top down, with the edging and cuffs made in the round afterwards.
You can choose to make them with the beaded tree or without.
