Benevolent Hands
This is a pattern for a pair of mittens and muffatees worked from the bottom up and in the round, using the stranded colourwork technique.
There are charts for Left and Right mittens & muffatees. Finished size is determined by the needle size. In addition, there are 4 different animals to choose from: Barn Owl, Fox, Squirrel, and Rabbit.
And since there are longer floats over some sections, you may want to use the Ladder-back/Invisible Jacquard technique shown on the last page of this pattern.
Kits will also be available at Knit Picks with Palette yarn. I have added this version of the pattern (as there are slight differences in size - scroll images to see KP data page), you will see an additional KP pdf when you purchase this pattern here.
