Margrethe Mittens are a pair of unisex mittens with a daisy pattern in honor of Queen Margrethe II, perfect for autumn and winter use. The mittens can be knitted in three different sizes: 1 (2) 3. Note: The mittens are knitted in wool/alpaca, which causes them to felt and shrink with regular use. The mittens in the photo are knitted in Peruvian Highland (Fine) from Mumilumi in White (contrast color 1), Rust (main color), and Yellow (contrast color 2).

Tip: Consider knitting with two colors instead of three, where contrast color 2 is the same color as contrast color 1 to minimize the yarn usage.
