Late Bloomer Mittens Kit
More of these gorgeous mitten kits have just been made! These come with one of our beautiful new Dove drawstring project bags! The perfect size for this project.
Please note that the pattern for this is in Making magazine issue 10 / INTRICATE and it is NOT included with the kit.
It is all of the yarn you will need to make any of the four colour options.
Pattern is designed by By Kristin Ledgett and can be bought as a PDF from her through Ravelry here.
The Late Bloomer Mittens were conceived on a sunny autumn day in Toronto. It was during a bike ride past lawns and gardens decorated with fall foliage that the idea took hold. Dinner plate–sized dahlias in burnt orange, yellow, and red bumped heads with towering sunflowers reaching toward a blue sky.
These mittens were designed to imitate this jubilant mishmash of blooms.
For all colour versions there is one size kit (2 skein of Lichen & Lace Rustic Heather Sport and 1 skein of Marsh Mohair). The large size comes up quite big without the lining.
We think the medium size, once lined, will fit most people and be really super cosy.
