The Daughter mittens

Introducing our beautifully crafted mittens that perfectly pair with the Daughter Hat. Designed with love for all the daughters in your life—as well as for those who identify as daughters, including ourselves—these mittens make a thoughtful and stylish gift.

Yarn Choices: For this project, you will need two contrasting DK weight yarns. The designer opted for Wooltops British DK in a natural grey alongside a stunning hand-dyed yarn by HookLineandAndStitches available on Etsy. To achieve a similar look, you can select any neutral yarn paired with a contrasting self-striping or variegated yarn. Alternatively, this pattern will also look incredibly sophisticated with two solid contrasting colors, giving you the freedom to customize your mittens to suit personal taste.

Skills Required: This mitten pattern is designed for knitters familiar with the one-at-a-time magic loop or short cable circular knitting technique. However, it can easily be adapted to suit your preferred circular method. Skills involved in this pattern include:

• Two-color cast-on (includes written instructions and links to helpful video tutorials)
• Basic knit and purl stitches
• Knitting in the round
• Simple stranded colorwork for the ribbing (tutorial links are provided)
• Slip stitch colorwork for the remaining areas of the mitten
• Cabling without a cable needle (detailed instructions included)
• Decreasing stitches for a tapered fit

What the Pattern Contains: This knitting pattern features comprehensive charts and full written instructions that guide you through the intricacies of both the back of the hand and palm patterns. Additionally, links to tutorials for the cast-on and ribbing techniques are included to ensure a smooth knitting experience.

Notions Needed: To complete your mittens, you will require:

• Waste yarn for safe stitch holding
• A tapestry needle for weaving in ends and finishing touches
• Four stitch markers to keep track of your rows and color changes

With this mitten pattern, you'll not only enhance your knitting skills but also create a warm and cozy accessory that can be shared with loved ones or cherished for yourself. Get your knitting supplies ready and dive into this delightful project that combines functionality with style!
