Fingerless mittens designed as part of a Mother’s Day project.

These can be knit very quickly and are suitable for knitters who are new to colour work/stranded knitting.

You only need 3 colours, straight needles, and an evening in front of the TV to get these lovely easy mittens worked up. It’s also a great way to use up any of your yarn stash as so little wool is needed. Even though it’s a straightforward pattern, it makes for a lovely little extra gift for anyone!

I recommend acrylic yarn purely based on personal preference. I recommend changing to wool for extra warmth if desired.
