CAREENA MITTENS

A playful pair of penguin mittens for little ones. These warm and cosy mittens are loved by babies, who are drawn to their high contrast design and by toddlers who love the fun animal faces peeping out of their coat sleeves. Complete with extra long rib stitch cuffs which can be worn folded up or down.

The mittens are worked flat on straight needles from the bottom up and then seamed together at the end. The penguin is added using duplicate stitch (my favourite method for adding designs to knitwear!). This means the mittens are knit in plain cream and the penguin is embroidered over the top of the plain stitches at the end. Sizes 0-6M and 6-12M are thumbless and sizes 1-2Y and 2-3Y include thumbs. The mitten top is shaped using mirrored decreases for a professional finish. All of these techniques are explained in the guide and shown in my video tutorials.
