Hello Everyone!
It’s Friday once again and we’re here with another pattern that my Fiancée had requested! He came home a few weeks ago, walked into my room and said “you know I love the mittens I have but I would really enjoy a variety so I have some mittens to choose from each day”. So I whipped him up another pair of mittens.
These mittens use the half double puff stitch to make a nice pair of mittens with tight stitches, and some extra cushioning and warmth. The half double puff stitch also adds a nice lovely texture to the mittens that can look great in any kind of yarn.
This pattern will be available in PDF format by the end of the month on my Patreon for my top 2 tiers.
Let’s get hooking!
