Little Victories Mittens
Designed by Janet Welsh
|
In challenging times, it is important to look at the
small wins in life and celebrate the little victories. This pattern includes a
few challenging design elements such as managing five colours overall in the
cuff, and a scalloped edge with a Latvian braid. These elements can be modified
for simplicity, or knit the mittens as designed and celebrate the little
victories of knitting each challenging element as it comes.

Simply Slipped Mittens
Designed by Janet Welsh |
These mittens are worked using an easy to remember
sequence of knit, purl and slipped stitches, creating a design that looks more
complex than it is. This simple technique produces a mitten in three colours,
while only working with one colour per round.
The mittens can be knit with sport-weight yarn or fingering-weight yarn. The mittens can also be knit with just one or two colours for a completely different look.
This pattern is suitable for an intermediate knitter
with some experience knitting in the round. The right and left-hand mittens are
identical.

Winter Surprise Mittens
Designed by Janet Welsh Knits

Knitting and surprise packages are two of my favourite things. I’ve brought those two things together in these mittens designed for a mystery group knitalong in winter. The pattern releases motifs, one clue at a time, as a surprise to the knitter.
NOTE: This pattern was created for a mystery knitalong. When you purchase this pattern, you will see that it has been formatted as six clues, as it was originally released in six separate installments.

Buds of Spring Mittens
Designed by Janet Welsh Knits |
These mittens are inspired by the pops of green that sprout
when trees begin to bud, while the memory of snow is still fresh in our minds.
The lace motif of a budding tree in the cuff is echoed in the stranded pattern
on the top of the hand. Combining the delicacy of lace with the grounded
substance of stranded colourwork results in a mitten that is perfect for
wearing on a chilly spring evening.
This pattern is suitable for an intermediate knitter with some
experience working with charts and knitting in the round. The lace cuff has a
simple garter stitch border or optional Latvian braids. Designer tips are

Christmas. Each mitten has eight reindeer to represent the original eight, Dasher,

reindeer to represent Rudolph, who saved Christmas. A few optional duplicate
stitches highlight Rudolph’s nose.

Autumn Snow Mittens
Designed by Janet Welsh Knits |
These mittens are inspired by the first snowfall of the year that often
comes in autumn, when the leaves have turned and their colours are still
brightly laying on the ground. The first dusting of snow is always a beautiful
sight as it sparkles down.
The pattern takes advantage of the subtle transitions of colour in Knit
Picks Chroma, colour-transitioning, fingering weight yarn, shown in
Vermont/Natural. This gives the mittens the effect of being knit with several
different colours of yarn, when in fact only two colours of yarn are required.
The pattern will also show off the snowflakes beautifully when knit
with two solid-colour yarns, using Knit Picks Palette in Clove Heather/White.
