I always have loved the look of colorwork mittens. Something about the contrast of colors and patterns has always drawn me in. And the secret added warmth of strands of yarn on the inside is a hidden gem. The Jack Pine Mittens leave the fancy details on the back of your hand and keep it simple with a striped palm. An afterthought thumb lets you keep moving and doesn’t require any added shaping.

If a smaller or larger fit is needed, smaller or larger needle sizes can be used to adjust the fit to a degree. If going up more than one needle size, using worsted weight yarn will help prevent the mitten from being too open of a knit.
