Doodle Mittens

**Exciting Update: Chart for Fingerless Mittens Added on 4/11/13!**

Doodling has always been my go-to activity, keeping my mind engaged during classes as a kid and ensuring I remained focused in meetings as an adult. The margins of my school papers and lecture notes became alive with fractal-like trees that danced around almost forgotten attempts at note-taking. This creative outlet inspired me to design a special pair of fingerless mittens that embody that spirit.

Introducing the **Doodle Mittens**! These unique mittens are constructed in a refreshing way that sets them apart from traditional stranded colorwork mittens. The innovative design consists of three repeats of an interlocking pattern that beautifully intertwine. If you prefer using four double-pointed needles, you’ll find that each of the three needles can hold a complete repeat of the intricate chart, making your knitting experience both enjoyable and efficient.

**Yarn Suggestions:** For the **Doodle Mittens**, you can use Kauni Effektgarn (approximately 25 grams of each color), Malabrigo Arroyo (approximately 40 grams of each color), or any sport-weight yarn that you love. The color options are endless, allowing for a personalized touch to your mittens.

**Needle Recommendations:** Choose double-pointed or circular needles in any size that will help you achieve the desired gauge. I personally used Size 1.5 US (2.5mm) for the Kauni yarn and Size 2 US (2.75mm) for the Arroyo yarn, but you can adjust based on your preference and the yarn you choose.

And don’t miss out on the matching accessory! Check out the coordinating **Doodle Cowl** to complete your cozy look! You can find the cowl pattern here: Doodle Cowl. With this set, you'll be stylishly warm while showcasing your passion for creativity.

Grab your needles and let your imagination run wild with the **Doodle Mittens** pattern. Perfect for all skill levels, this project will not only challenge your knitting skills but also provide endless joy and satisfaction as you see your doodles come to life. Happy knitting!
