Sun Moon and Dolphins Mittens
Experience the joy of knitting with our delightful "Dolphins at Play" mitten pattern, perfect for intermediate knitters looking to add a touch of whimsy to their winter wardrobe. These charming mittens showcase dolphins racing playfully beneath the brilliant solstice sun and moon, bringing a splash of creativity to your knitting projects.
This pattern is designed for knitters who have some familiarity with stranded colorwork techniques. It assumes you can seamlessly knit, purl, decrease, and increase while working in the round. The chart provided is color-coded, making it easier for you to follow along as you create your stunning mittens.
Yarn Requirements: Choose any fingering weight yarn in three contrasting colors for a vibrant finish. We recommend using animal fiber, as it allows for easy blocking and enhances the overall texture of your project. For this pattern, I used Cascade 220 Fingering in the following colorways: Silver (80 yards, 74 meters), In the Navy (145 yards, 133 meters), and Goldenrod (50 yards, 46 meters).
Measurements: Once completed, each mitten measures approximately 10 cm (4 inches) in width and 25.5 cm (10 inches) in length, making them the perfect accessory to keep your hands toasty on chilly days.
Important Notice for EU Customers: Due to the EU VAT regulations effective January 1, I will be temporarily disabling sales to EU countries in my Ravelry store. However, I will enable sales again as soon as I can comply with the new requirements. In the meantime, EU residents interested in purchasing this pattern can send me a private message, and I will arrange to provide it through email or PayPal. Rest assured, sales to customers in other countries will remain unaffected.
Knitting these playful dolphin mittens not only allows you to hone your stranded colorwork skills but also results in a unique and eye-catching accessory that showcases your passion for knitting. Dive into this fun project today and bring a touch of oceanic charm to your knitting collection!
