Star Sign Stash Mittens - ARIES

A stash yarn project to use up all those odd little remnants. This is the third in a series of 12 patterns, one for each star sign, for fingerless mittens featuring each sign's astrological symbol and worked in the colours most associated with that sign.

For fire sign Aries, I have used reds & oranges but obviously these colours are open to individual interpretation. The mittens feature a diamond pattern border (for Aries birth stone), a beaded edging & the Aries ram symbol (worked in duplicate stitch).

The pattern is offered in three sizes, to suit pre-teen to adults. Each pair of mittens uses, according to size, 30 - 35g Main colour, 25-30g border colour plus 5g oddments of other colours. They are worked flat, on single point needles & seamed together. The pattern includes row by row instructions with explanatory photos and charts for each size for placing the motif. I have made my mittens using a superwash wool yarn but other DK yarns could be used if preferred.
