Winter Tulip Mittens

A late season bloomer. The Winter Tulip rears it's beautiful head, demanding to be noticed! The deep, gorgeous bright poppy colored wool simply pops amidst the crisp, white snow. Like a late bloom bursting from the frozen ground. You will definitely stand out when wearing these….like a winter tulip!

These mittens feature a unique construction for the cuff that creates two petal shaped flaps mimicking nature’s artistic tulip. Designed to accompany the Winter Tulip Cloche: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/winter-tulip-cloche

Knit with less than (2) Hanks of 1 Akasha Zeropoint Colorworks 1AZC TTS 66 Hand dyed Thick and Thin Slub Yarn, a gorgeous and lofty fine micron merino wool. Knit in a dense gauge to give a felted look and a nice warm, thick fabric for the winter cold.

Pattern only takes up approximately 85 yrds, so you will have some wool leftover for a simple headband, baby mittens or a cute crocheted flower. But I think these mittens would be even more soft
