Star Sign Stash Mittens - VIRGO

A stash yarn project to use up all those odd little remnants. This is the eighth 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 Earth sign Virgo, I have used shades of green but obviously this is open to individual interpretation of the relevant colours. The mittens feature a lace flower border & a beaded edging with the Virgo symbol (worked in duplicate stitch) added to the finished mittens.

The pattern is offered in three sizes, to suit pre-teen to adults. Each pair of mittens uses ( in DK yarn) 35 - 40g Main colour, 20g border colour plus 5g oddments of other colours of choice.

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.
