The name may seem odd, but these mittens really were inspired by elephants. In India, there is a custom of painting ones elephant for special occasions. The chalky-bright paint in floral patterns on the rough grey skin is really stunning, and I wanted to recreate that effect in these mitts. This is why they are named Elephant Mitts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnit in the round, from the cuff up. The pattern includes a chart of the whole mitts, and line by line instructions. Follow one, or use both. They use an unusual thumb gusset, with increases on one side. A slim fit makes these mittens very comfortable, you won’t feel like your fingers are swimming about in them or like they want to fall off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese mittens have some longer floats inside. I do not recommend using a superwash wool yarn, or any fiber that will not felt. You want a “catchy” yarn so the floats will stick to the inside of the mittens. The yarn I used has uniquely short color changes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LoveCrafts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56747703566714,"sku":"UPID00618","price":2.92,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/3219\/4170\/files\/67ccc06e7389de7ca4009922ebe7f33205fe3692_UPID00618_172891538542085.jpg?v=1775884600","url":"https:\/\/www.lovecrafts.com\/en-gb\/products\/elephant-mittens-knitting-pattern-by-jenise-hope","provider":"LoveCrafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
