The Daughter mittens

These mittens make a set with the Daughter Hat Designed for all the daughters in your life and of course for all those who are daughters, including ourselves…

Yarn choicesTwo contrasting DK weight yarns. I used Wooltops British DK in natural grey, and a hand dyed yarn by HookLineandAndStitches on Etsy. For a similar look choose any neutral yarn and a contrasting self-striping or variegated yarn. However, this will also look very smart with two contrasting solids.

**Skills required:**The pattern assumes a one-at-a-time magic loop or short cable circular technique, but can be easily adapted for your preferred circular technique. Skills include:

Two colour cast on (written instructions and links to videos included)Knit and purlKnitting in the roundSimple stranded colourwork for the ribbing (links to tutorials provided)Slip stitch colour work for the remainder of the mittenCabling without a cable needle (full instructions provided)decreasing
