Flight of the Thestral
These mittens are knitted in stranded colourwork from the cuff upward. The design includes a thumb gusset for a perfect fit. Pattern includes charts for both mittens as well as written instructions.
Due to the non-repeating motif, it is recommended that you have at least some experience of knitting stranded colourwork from a chart before attempting these, although the knitting itself is quite simple and straightforward. The cuff incorporates a little bit of lace, but it’s a very simple two-row lace pattern which would be a perfect first endeavor for the lace beginner. Of course, there is always the option of substituting a ribbing cuff if you prefer that.
With the given gauge, these knit up to a woman’s medium sized mittens, although size can easily be adjusted by going up or down a needle size.
I have been fascinated with the beautiful, misunderstood thestrals since I first read the Harry Potter books (and for the following seven re-reads). As a compulsive doodler, I’ve drawn countless thestrals in lecture notebooks. It seemed only natural that I should try to create a pair of thestral themes mittens.
