Star Sign Stash Mittens - LEO
Discover the perfect stash yarn project to transform your odd little remnants into beautiful handmade gifts with our fingerless mittens pattern, inspired by the zodiac signs. This is the seventh pattern in a series of 12 unique designs, each representing a different astrological sign. These fingerless mittens feature the symbol of Leo, the fiery and passionate fire sign, and are crafted in vibrant flame shades that beautifully reflect the spirit of this energetic sign.

The mittens are adorned with a stunning sunburst beaded border, providing an exquisite touch that elevates your knitting project. The iconic Leo symbol is added to the finished mittens using a simple duplicate stitch technique, making them not only fashionable but also a personal statement of astrological pride.
This versatile pattern comes in three sizes, accommodating everyone from pre-teens to adults, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a pair of these stylish mittens. Depending on the size you choose to make, each pair requires approximately 30 - 35g of your main color, 15g for the border color, and just 5g each of five additional colors that you select. These mittens are worked flat on single-point needles and are seamed together, making them a fantastic project for knitters at any level.
The pattern features comprehensive row-by-row instructions, accompanied by detailed explanatory photos and easy-to-follow charts for each size, guiding you effortlessly through the motif placement. For my mittens, I selected a luxurious superwash wool yarn, but you are welcome to use any DK yarn of your preference for a different texture and look. This ensures you can make a pair that truly resonates with your style while using up those remnants in your yarn stash!
Whether you're looking to keep warm on chilly days, create a thoughtful handmade gift, or simply indulge in your passion for knitting, these fingerless mittens represent a fantastic project to celebrate the Leo spirit.
