With a daughter in college, suddenly “school colors” take on new meaning. For a one-skein-and-a-few-yards-of-contrast-yarn project (190 - 219 yds) guaranteed to make your student think of you all winter long, these School Spirit Mittens are designed to be made in any two-color combination.

These worsted weight mittens are worked on US Size 6 needles to create a dense, warm fabric. The cuff is ribbed for snug elasticity, and crocheted contrast color piping combined with the button tabs add stylish details.

The cuffs are worked first, and the mitten stitches are picked up from the cuff edge. A simple project with a twist!
