Cielo stellato

These mitts are quick and fun to knit, adorable to wear and perfect to gift.

The main feature of these mitts is the mosaic colourwork with a nocturne sky full of stars (Cielo stellato in Italian) on the back of the mitts, while on the palm they are worked in “plain” mosaic stitch.

A fun detail is that the second mitt is worked swapping MC and CC colors.

Finished size: One size fits most adult hands.

Note: Size is easily customizable, using a different yarn weight and/or needle size.
