Reading Mitten
For avid readers and knitting enthusiasts alike, this delightful mitten pattern is the perfect combination of warmth and literary charm! Since the age of 6, I've always had a book in hand, and this mitten ensures you can keep your fingers cozy while enjoying your favorite reads—even when the weather outside is chilly. If you're searching for the ideal gift for a book lover in your life or want to treat yourself, these mittens are a fantastic choice. They not only serve a practical purpose but also showcase your love for literature in a creative way.
The pattern offers flexibility by providing the option of stranded knitting for the book motif or using duplicate stitch for a more straightforward approach. You’ll find a detailed colorwork chart included for the motif, making it easy to follow along. If you choose the duplicate stitch method, stash diving is encouraged—you'll need around 1 yard (1m) per book, making this a great project to use up your yarn scraps!
