Designed this for a special request, and it turned out too cool to not use the pattern again… but come on, how many people do I need to make fish mittens for? Well, I’m sure some of you can help me out!

I duplicate-stitched some additional color for a rainbow trout, but it’s fine worked in just 2 colors as well.

This was written for an average men’s hand size. You could make a women’s size by going down to size 1 or 0 needles. For a larger men’s size, you may need to add a couple stitches to the edges of the pattern or use slightly heavier yarn.

This pattern is free to use; please consider making a donation to Humane Society of Northeast Iowa, or another animal shelter or rescue of your choice. If you’re shopping for yarn rather than using your stash, please consider ordering from my local yarn shop (Blue Heron Knittery in Decorah IA).

I don’t mind if you knit items to sell using this pattern, or modify it and publish your own version. Have fun!
