These mild-mannered mittens hide a secret identity! True sushi-heroes, they boast dual superpowers: keeping your hands toasty on the coldest of days, and bringing a smile to your face at the same time.

Uniquely designed to be rolled into two different types of sushi for show-shopping gift presentation, subtle main colours and appealing texture variations make these mittens easy to wear every day. The fold-back cuffs cover wrist-hugging ribbing for extra warmth. Entertain yourself while wearing the mittens by making sushi! Just form a fist with your thumb in the centre, or clasp both hands together.

This pair of mittens is sized for an 8” palm circumference (women’s medium-large or men’s small size) but the stitch count can easily be adjusted for custom sizes.

You will need three main colours of the Peruvia Quick: white, black and rust/orange. You will use about half of each of these skeins (one skein of each of the three colours will make two pair of mittens).

For the mittens’ thumb, you will also need very small amounts of a similar-weight wool in three contrasting colours (in mittens pictured, rather than using scraps of super bulky wool, I have used a double strand of scraps of aran-weight wool in red, yellow and green).

I recommend using the invisible seaming/mattress stitch method for the neatest and most professional finish when you are joining the fronts and backs of the mittens!
