Koala Mittens
Introducing the Koala Mittens, a charming variation on the classic chevron motif designed to keep your paws warm and cozy as you explore the great outdoors. Perfect for adventurous knitters, these mittens are knit in the round from the bottom up, allowing for a smooth and engaging crafting experience. The simple yet striking colourwork pattern will keep you entertained as you smoothly transition from round to round, making this project a delightful challenge for knitters of all skill levels.
These stylish mittens are crafted using Ginger's Hand Dyed Sheepish DK, which is made from 100% Bluefaced Leicester wool, ensuring both warmth and durability. For a pop of color, the mittens feature three beautiful shades: Dove (a soft grey), Orange Blossom (a vibrant green), and Shortcake (a charming pink). To provide you with more options, I have also included an alternative yarn available at LoveCrafts, giving you the flexibility to choose what suits your style best. Here are the minimum yarn quantities you will need:
- C1 Dove: 50 (60, 70) g; 113 (135, 158) m / 123 (148, 173) yds
