These are the coziest and softest of mittens! Rowan Cocoon is soft and warm and the double stranded colourwork helps to keep fingers toasty in cold weather. Knit up on two sets of double pointed needles (larger set for colourwork sections), there is very little finishing required (no seams, for example).

Inspired by the colours of Noro’s new Kureyon Sock yarn and some spring snow, I wanted to knit up some two colour mittens… with the colours mixing and blending as the stripes work their way off the ball.
