Knitting pattern for two character bath mittens, a frog and a pig, worked in King Cole Cottonsoft DK. One size, 15cm wide x 16cm long. Instant PDF download, clear instructions throughout.

Meet Bacon Butty the pig and Garlic Sauce the frog. Each mitt knits up quickly on straight needles, with a short DPN section for the frog’s eyes only.
The pig has 3D knitted ears and a gathered snout. The frog has stuffed pop-up eyes and a crochet chain mouth. Both are the kind of thing a small child will point at and refuse to have removed.

The main colours are blush pink for the pig and sage green for the frog. Only very small amounts of contrast yarn are needed for the details, which makes this a good stash buster if you have DK cotton oddments sitting in a bag somewhere.

Designed by Jane Burns, with 18 years of experience creating exclusive baby and children’s knitting patterns. Simple to follow, lovely to make, and a real pleasure to give.
