Lichen Mittens

These delightful mittens are crafted using two beautiful colors of Noro Silk Garden yarn. For this project, I recommend using color numbers #269 and #359; both skeins create a stunning visual contrast while maintaining harmony. When selecting your yarn, aim for two colors that are similar yet distinct enough for you to differentiate between them. Alternatively, you may choose two completely different colors that complement each other beautifully!

For this knitting pattern, you'll need a size US 7 double point needles. These mittens are designed to fit a medium to large hand comfortably. As you knit your mittens, keep in mind that Silk Garden yarn tends to relax and stretch after washing, so consider creating your mittens a bit snugger than your usual fit to accommodate for this softness.

A heartfelt thanks goes out to Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer of HeartStrings FiberArts for her wonderful inspiration in creating these mittens, as well as for allowing the use of her stitch design from the Honeycomb Shadow Lace Stole Pattern #H148.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, these mittens are a fun project that enhances your skills and results in a beautiful finished product. Happy knitting!
