Probably the easiest way to add a pop of colour to a simple knit - sew on some fun buttons!

These versatile mitts are perfect for gift giving. They’re a quick knit using a small amount of DK weight yarn. Personalise them to suit the recipient by mixing up the decorative buttons: choose neutral buttons for simple elegance or colourful buttons for added fun.

Delicate cables and twisted ribs make for an interesting knit, and you’ll be amazed how quickly you can whip these up.
