OFFER: Add the Melting Rainbow Mitts, Socks, & Cowl to your basket and receive the cowl for FREE.**

The Melting Rainbow Mitts were inspired to accompany the Melting Rainbow Cowl. They take the colourwork pattern used in both the cowl and the socks design to create a cute pair of handwarmers.

Knit in the round from the cuff, with a side gore thumb. The pattern has written instruction for magic loop but can easily be adapted to dpn’s or a short circular needle. There are charts for the colourwork. Please read all instructions before commencing pattern.

I used muted rainbow colours but the possibilities are endless. Perfect for all those mini skeins and leftovers.
