Bellamy Mittens
Introducing the beautifully crafted Bellamy Mittens, designed to beautifully complement the matching Bellamy Hat. These mittens showcase an enchanting botanical theme, featuring delicate curved stems, whimsical seeds and seedlings, vibrant flowers, berries, and lush leaves, making them a perfect project for nature lovers.
Designed as a ‘stash buster,’ these mittens allow you to creatively use your leftover scraps of yarn for each botanical element. You have the freedom to choose a colorful theme that pops or simplify your design with just two high-contrast yarns for a stunning minimalist effect. Whether you’re looking to use various hues or opt for a cohesive color palette, the Bellamy Mittens offer endless creative possibilities.
Materials:
For these delightful mittens, I chose high-quality Shetland yarn, known for its exceptional insulating properties and impressive spectrum of colors. While the pattern suggests a variety of shades, you’ll find that only small scraps of each color are required. So dive into your yarn stash and see what treasures you can find! For the background color (I used Jamieson & Smith Supreme), you’ll need approximately 30g - 35g. For the contrast colors, primarily sourced from Spindrift, you’ll need about 25g in total.
Feel free to substitute your preferred 4 ply yarn, but please note that sizing may vary slightly. This flexibility allows knitters of all levels to enjoy this versatile design!
Sizing:
The Bellamy Mittens are tailored to fit an average adult hand size of 7.5 inches. However, you can easily modify the fit by adjusting your needle size to accommodate different hand sizes or personal preferences.
Additionally, I've included basic instructions on how to convert these charming mittens into stylish fingerless mitts, providing even more versatility to your knitting collection. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting, the Bellamy Mittens are the perfect project to keep you warm and fashionable this season.
Embrace your creativity with the Bellamy Mittens knitting pattern today and enjoy the cozy warmth and unique style they bring to your winter wardrobe!
