Jolly Roger Mittens

Description

Knit in the round with a tight gauge in fingering weight yarn, these stranded colorwork mittens incorporate elements from traditional Scandinavian mitten designs, including a 1×1 corrugated rib cuff, thumb gusset on the palm, and a pointed top. The mitten body features a two-color skull and crossbones motif, with a smaller scale geometric pattern on the palm. The pattern is written for size men’s medium and includes charts for the left and right mittens, and thumb.
