This pattern is one of a series of patterns designed to help children learn to knit. It includes illustrated guides on basic techniques and clear instructions how to make the mitts. I used Noro DK because a graded yarn adds extra interest as the colour changes. It is also pleasing to touch in what might be a child’s first experience of knitting.
Each mitt is a rectangle that is seamed on one side, leaving a gap for the thumb.
Following a knitting pattern is a fun holiday project, but also helps with literacy and numeracy
