I love my Ombré Hat so much that I needed to create a matching set of mittens. The hat uses up to 9 colors, and these mittens can incorporate up to 13 different colors. (This is a great remnant project!) Charts are provided to create a 13 color, or two different 3 color versions of the mittens.

The mittens are knit with a tight gauge on small needles to create a thick, almost felted-like fabric. Increasing the size of these mittens is easily achieved by going up a needle size or two.
