Zig Zag Mittens

Get ready for the winter season with our new, cozy mittens designed for chilly mornings! As the temperature drops, these lightweight mittens will be perfect for your fall bike commute, ensuring your hands stay warm while you ride. Crafted with high-quality DK weight yarn in a superwash wool, these mittens not only provide warmth but also comfort and durability. To add a unique touch, I've incorporated a contrasting color that beautifully weaves in and out of the main mitten shade, providing visual interest and style.

Yarn Required: For these mittens, I used 1 skein of Berroco Vintage DK in color 2194. Additionally, you'll need a small amount of a contrasting color; in this pattern, I've used Deborah Norville Everyday Soft Worsted in a vibrant mustard hue to make them pop.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 24 stitches x 28 rows over a 4" swatch to ensure your mittens fit perfectly.
Needle Size: A set of 3.5 mm double-pointed needles is recommended for this project.

Note: Since the contrasting color is made with a slightly thicker yarn, feel free to experiment by using anything from DK to light worsted weight yarn to achieve an effect that you love. These mittens are not only functional but also a fantastic way to express your creativity, making them a great addition to your knitting repertoire. Enjoy the warmth and style of your handmade mittens this season!
