Vive La France

What embodies the essence of France more than the classic symbol, the Fleur de Lis? If you consider yourself a true Francophile, this beautifully designed mitten is the perfect project for you. Knit the Fleur de Lis Mittens from the cuff up and select two contrasting colors to bring this iconic design to life. The charming depiction of two French hens at the bottom gives way to a regal crown at the top, making each stitch a delightful homage to French culture. You’ll find yourself humming the national anthem, "La Marseillaise," as you craft these elegant mittens!

Size: Adult medium
Needles: Size 2, double-pointed needles (you'll need 4)
Yarn: Sport weight. You'll need two skeins of contrasting colors to create a stunning visual effect. Keep in mind that using larger needles and thicker yarn will yield larger mittens.
Gauge: 7 stitches X 8 rows = 1 inch

For this project, I used most of one skein for the background color and about half a skein for the pattern color, ensuring a striking contrast that highlights the intricate design. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking to challenge yourself, these Fleur de Lis Mittens will not only keep your hands warm but will also make a fashionable statement. Embrace French elegance with this delightful knitting pattern that is sure to become a favorite in your collection!
