A great project for using up those precious leftover bits of yarn, these Mittens and along with the Magpie Hat make a lovely set to keep you warm in the winter months. They are a quick knit making them a good option for gift knitting.

‘The loose end cascaded to the ground with the final snip that finished their project. They held the completed sock up to the light to admire their handiwork with satisfaction and laid it atop the matching one beside them. The scraps were pooled on the floor by their foot. They wrapped them up like a neat little bow and dropped them into the scrap’s basket. With each new colourful scrap, the tower grew and grew towards some mystery project they would collect together to create. When the daunting task of weaving in the ends loomed, they knelt by the basket and rooted through the remnants of projects past to find the perfect few for their newest endeavour. And it shall be a gleaming magpie.’
