I created Samhain Eve Mitts as a simple project to use leftovers yarns from bigger projects (for example socks). I know how nice and gratifying it is to buy new and shiny yarn, but after knitting the same amount of socks like I do (don’t judge) there’s still a box or two of scraps waiting for their turn. So here it’s the perfect project for your fingering/sock yarn leftovers.

The pattern features an interesting cable at the centre and a little serpents playing with bobbles, that will bring to your knitting joy and fun.

The mittens are knitted in the round with a thumb gusset. The pattern includes a chart and written instruction.
