March Flowers Mitts

These cheerful tulip mitts are perfect companions for chilly spring days, bringing both warmth and a smile to your face. This delightful knitting pattern includes two charted options for beautiful tulip motifs, allowing you to mix and match for a personalized touch. Each mitt is expertly crafted in the round from the cuff up, featuring a unique afterthought (or forethought) thumb technique. To create the thumbs, stitches are temporarily held in waste yarn, which are later unraveled to finish the thumbs seamlessly. You can choose to use either one of the Tulip Charts or even both for a vibrant and colorful design. If you decide to mix the two charts as demonstrated in the sample, keep in mind that one of the rows will feature three colors. The third color can be added later using a method called duplicate stitch, allowing for exquisite detail in your finished mitts. Additionally, these mitts offer a cozy snug fit, with a finished circumference of approximately 7 ¾ (8 ¾) inches (18 (22.5) cm), making them suitable for a range of hand sizes. The finished length of the mitts measures about 5 ¾ (6 ½) inches (14.5 (16.5) cm), providing excellent wrist coverage for extra warmth. Embrace the magic of spring knitting with these charming tulip mitts that are sure to brighten up your cold-weather wardrobe. Perfect for gifting or keeping for yourself, this knitting project will not only enhance your skills but also add a burst of color to your collection.
