Margrethe Mittens are a pair of mittens with a daisy pattern in honor of Queen Margrethe II, perfect for autumn and winter use. The mittens can be knitted in four different sizes for ages 2-10 years old. Note: The mittens are knitted in wool which can lead to the mittens felting and shrinking in use. The mittens in the photo are size 5-7 years old and knitted in Peruvian Highland (Fine) from Mumilumi in uncolored (contrast color 1), Asperges green (main color), and Lemon Yellow (contrast color 2).
