Right now I feel the world is upside down. There are wars, hate, violence and climate changes. Sometimes this overwhelmes me and I get sad. I feel so powerless.
I´m not verry good at arguing so working in politics is not my thing.
My name is not Lennon so I can´t write powerfull and inspirational songs about it.
So what can I do? Well, I can knit! And I can write knitting patterns. So that is what I did.
I hope you, all the beautiful knitterns around the world, will knit this and show the world that we want Love, Peace and Understanding. A world were everybody is accepted.
So Let´s get loud and knit the message of love!

~ These fingerless mittens are worked from the cuff to the fingers.

~ This is worked like a recipe were you can choose the lenght of the mitten and the pattern you like. Exept for “Peace”, that one only works with the long mitten.

~ Be aware that the stranded colourwork on “Peace” will not be as stretchy as the stockinette sts and it can be a little harder to get your hand thru.

~ This pattern is written for Magic Loop.

~ This pattern is free because I want everybody to be able to spred some love.
