Squirrel Sampler Mittens

Discover the charm of our exquisite mittens inspired by a Quaker child’s cross stitch sampler from the late 1700s. These rustic mittens are designed to showcase the beauty of tweed and mottled yarns, giving them an authentic vintage appeal. The pattern features a sparse yet elegant design that strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and whimsy. The addition of a 2-strand braid adds a delightful texture while maintaining the minimalist aesthetic. For a touch of sophistication, we include a delicate picot hem; however, those who prefer a more rustic look can easily substitute it with a plain turned hem. Plus, these mittens are fully lined for added warmth and comfort.

When selecting your materials, opt for a wool or wool blend yarn that can withstand daily wear and tear. You’ll want to choose a lining yarn that’s so soft it feels like kittens, ensuring your hands experience the ultimate luxury! Perfect for cold weather, these mittens not only keep your hands cozy but also make a wonderful gift. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, our mittens pattern is easy to follow and offers a rewarding knitting experience.
