Mittens with sheep and flowers in a field. Stranded patterning with details worked in duplicate-stitch embroidery. Small quantities of several colors of yarn are used for the patterning, ideal for leftovers from a few previous projects.

Size information: The pattern includes two sizes of graphs and can be customized to fit a wide range of hand sizes depending on the gauge and graph used. This is why needle and gauge information is not stated above - each person’s will vary depending on the yarn used and size desired. A quick reference chart is included to help choose the gauge and graph. However, some idea of the needles and yarn you need to produce a given gauge would be useful. Swatch and sample.

The design is mostly charted, and the basic instructions are written out. Duplicate stitch placement is marked but instructions for the stitch itself are not included.
