The Tulip Mittens are a circularly knit design suitable for knitters who are experienced with stranded knitting. With an 8½“ finished circumference, they are sized to fit most adult females’ hands. For extra detail and warmth, they are knit using Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift at a tighter-than-usual gauge. Three shades are used and you’ll need 2 x 25g balls of the medium shade, 1 of the light and 1 of the dark. Charts for the Latvian style “peasant” thumbs include the alphabet and numbers so that you can add your own secret messages inside the stealth thumbs.
