Flowers in Mittens

Years ago, I discovered the delightful art of creating knitted flowers, and I was inspired to incorporate this technique into a pair of mittens featuring an ornamental border. Orange, one of my favorite colors, beautifully contrasts with dark blue, allowing the design to stand out vibrantly. The knitted flower pattern reminds me of the stunning fall Mums, which inspired the overall aesthetic. To further enhance the theme, I decided to include orange accents in the hand section of the mittens, where I created a captivating star pattern. One of the challenges I faced was choosing the colors for the thumbs. In the end, I decided to use one mitt with a blue thumb and the other with an orange thumb, adding a fun twist to the overall design. However, you can opt for any color combinations that suit your personal style, and feel free to experiment with striped thumbs for a unique touch! The yarn I selected for this project is the 7 Brothers by Novita, which is an Aran weight yarn, perfect for cozy and warm mittens. Whether you’re looking to brighten up your winter wardrobe or create a thoughtful handmade gift, these mittens offer both charm and functionality. Enjoy the process of knitting these lovely floral mittens that are inspired by the beauty of autumn and express your creativity through color!
