Quick and cute mitts to knit for yourself, a friend or a loved one any time you feel like showing and sharing some love.

The cuff is knit in the round and the hand is knit flat with intarsia hearts, leaving an opening for the thumb. The colorwork part has you knitting each heart from its own piece of yarn, while carrying the main color behind it. However, this is not difficult to do and the hearts are small, so this is a good project even if you don’t have any prior experience of colorwork.

Materials:
• Yarn: DK weight yarn in two colors. Approx. 120 y in MC and 10 y in CC.
• Needles: 4 mm / US 6 dpns (4 needles) or size needed to obtain gauge
