Dear knitters,

oh yes, here is the next pattern for you. The Queen Mitts! They look so innocent and sweet. A heart. But beware: Your head may be in danger of rolling off! These mitts might be a great gift for your sweetheart, anyway. Do not tell about the Queen and the heads ;).

There are six colorful and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland inspired mitts patterns in the mix and they are available as ebook and separately here on ravelry!

THE QUEEN MITTS

The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. ‘Off with his head!’ she said, without even looking round.

Lewis Carroll: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

You may find some heads – ups – bobbles, I wanted to say, in this pattern. Also straight forward thinking without any chance for variation. Although one might think she has no heart: she IS queen of hearts.
