Fancy adding a me-made newbie to your collection of winter woollies? If you’re just getting into knitting, these mittens will ease you into colourwork – there is a chart, but we promise it’s not scary. Or, if you’re a seasoned stitcher, indulge in a quick knit that’ll make a fab gift.
We love the grellow palette, but you can easily switch the colours. The small is a good fit for teens, and the large will work for fellas.
