Introducing a delightful mitten pattern that beautifully combines the luxurious yarns of Noro Silk Garden! For this project, you will need two distinct colorways: color numbers #269 and #359. Each color provides a unique blend of hues that enhance the overall aesthetic of the mittens. When selecting your own colors, consider choosing two shades that are similar yet different enough to create a visually striking contrast, or opt for entirely different colors that harmoniously blend together!
To achieve the perfect fit, we recommend using US size 7 circular needles (18") along with double point needles. With these tools, you can create a pair of mittens designed to snugly fit a hand size accommodating 20-22 inches. Keep in mind that Noro Silk Garden tends to relax slightly after washing, so knitting these mittens a bit tighter can help ensure they remain snug and comfortable after wearing.
This pattern draws inspiration from the talented Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer of HeartStrings FiberArts, specifically her Honeycomb Shadow Lace Stole Pattern #H148. We are immensely grateful for her permission to use her stitch design to develop this unique mitten pattern. To explore more of her stunning designs and find additional inspiration for your knitting projects, we encourage you to visit her website at www.heartstringsfiberarts.com.
