Product Description
I have lots of mitts. I love so many things about them that I feel like I can’t actually have enough of them.
And I have a three year old daughter, who’s going to kindergarten for a couple of months and is desperetaly in love with everything pink since then.
So I was not surprised when she came to me the other day and demanded a pair of mitts for herself. I showed her my stash and she instantly chose, surprise, three tones of red. She let me know that she wanted a flower too, and as she’s not a very patient person I started knitting instantly…
She stood beside me, tapping her little feet, complaining all the time that she couldn’t see any flower yet. But the first mitt grew quickly and her eyes sparkled as I started with the embroidery. „Oh mommy, but there is not point in the middle of the flower!“, and as I quickly applied one: Ah-ah, and where is the flower stalk?
But finally everything was done and a little girl was happy! :)

Milena dreams Knitted Gloves and Mittens Pattern
About This Design
Milena dreams is a downloadable knitting pattern created by designer Melanie Berg featuring charming mittens with embroidered floral details. This pattern was inspired by the designer's three-year-old daughter who requested a pair of mittens in shades of red with a decorative flower motif. The design combines straightforward knit construction with decorative embroidery work, making it an engaging project that produces a finished item with personality and visual interest.
What You'll Make
This pattern provides instructions for creating a pair of mittens featuring embroidered flower embellishments. The mittens are designed with a classic silhouette suitable for children or those preferring a snug fit.

This combination of knitting and embroidery creates dimension and visual appeal without requiring complex colorwork or advanced stitch techniques.
