Optics Mitts

Discover the charm of these adorable mitts featuring a stunning knitted optical illusion design. Perfectly paired with our "Optics" cowl, these mitts make for an excellent gift option that suits both male and female hands.

This pattern includes easy-to-read colorwork charts, ensuring a straightforward knitting experience for crafters of all skill levels. Complete instructions for working directly from the chart are included, making it simple to create your own beautiful mitts.

For this project, you'll need either 6" or 8" double-pointed knitting needles. The recommended yarn is a DK weight, even though Cascade labels it as sport weight—it consistently knits to a DK gauge. This soft and machine-washable yarn is ideal for crafting gifts that will surely be treasured. Don't hesitate to experiment with different color combinations; just ensure a high contrast between the colors you select to truly showcase the optical illusion design.
