This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download

This is a free pattern that uses 5 JC Rennie Miniballs, or oddments of 4ply in 5 different colours. The pattern can be also bendownloaded from our website as a PDF. The mitts are knitted in the round using two colour stranded colourwork techniques. There is a thumb gusset which is fully charted in the instructions as well as having written instructions. The motif is charted only. There are two options for the motif on the palm. The mitts are identical, they aren’t handed. If you have any problems with this pattern please get in touch! It has been tested by several knitters, including those who haven’t tried stranded colourwork before.

This pattern has now been made available as a Ravelry download in both English and Spanish. The Spanish patterns include one that uses 5 miniballs and a version that uses only 3 miniballs.
