These very cute owl mittens are also warm due to the overall stranded design. The thumb is knitted in peasant or “afterthought” style, which makes overall stranding easier. The sizes will fit toddlers to early elementary age children.

Intermediate knitting skills are recommended.

The pattern is written for #5 and #7 double point needles.
#4 and #6 double point needles can be used to make slightly smaller versions with DK yarn.

The yardage for individual colors ranges as follows:
55-65 yds for the background color
50-60 yds for the contrast color
Several yards of green color yarn for the beginning of the design..
