This mitten pattern features some of my all-time-favorites: colour blocking and a fun construction. The basic pattern offers a wide range of possibilities of playing with colours. And you can add stripes where ever you like! It’s a great pattern for using all your scraps of worsted or aran weight yarn. The pattern is available in 3 sizes but both width and length can be adjusted easily by adding more or less stitches and/or rows/rounds.
