It seems that every time I make a fold back mitt, I get asked for a pattern. I made these as a commission for a Christmas gift and the recipient’s favorite color is, you guessed it, green! And I wrote down a little recipe for you this time. This particular pattern works best with one dark color and 1-3 other yarns that provide for some contrast in color and/or texture to both each other and the dark color.

Yarn: 100 yd 91.5 m dark color aran weight wool (main color – mc) and 150 yd 137 m of another color, I split this one up into 3 different colors

Needles: 7 US 4.5 mm set of double–pointed needles, or whatever size needles you need to get gauge

Gauge: 4.75 sts/in. 2.5 cm

Sizes: 8 in. 20.3 cm hand circumference
