Is it your turn to shovel the snow? Or do you just need a splash of color against the cold, grey winter skies? Bright Spot Mittens are a fun way to perk up your day.

Bright Spot Mittens are knit using Sandnes Garn Smart DK weight superwash wool for easy care. The cuff features a unique welt design as well as Latvian braids for added strength. The finished size is a perfect size medium mitten. If a larger size is needed, choose a worsted weight or aran weight yarn and go up a needle size or two.

This pattern has detailed instructions for knitting the welts & Latvian braid. It has colorwork charts and was tech edited by bronwyndp. Thank you, Bronwyn!
