Mittens so yummy you’ll want to eat them up! This is a perfect stash buster project, or an excellent excuse to go bananas in the yarn shop and choose four new, delightful colours. Also, no second mittens syndrome here – since the colour order changes for the second one, it doesn’t get boring or tedious to repeat. Actually, you might find it very addictive to think of even more colour combinations after you’ve made your first pair!

The mittens are knitted using 4 mm (US6) DPNs or circular needles for the magic loop technique from the cuff to the top, lastly working the thumb by picking up stitches.
