Thump Thump Mittens

A delicious unisex stranded mitten pattern can make your heart go ‘thump thump!’ This one has striated purl texture- like heart muscle- that holds in extra warmth. With seven sizes from 2–4 years to men’s XXL, this warm mitt works up quickly in two colors, with size 5(3.75mm) and 8(5mm) double pointed needles at 5.5 stitches to the inch. Any worsted or aran weight yarn that works to gauge is a good match; yardage varies according to mitten size chosen. This is a pattern for an advanced beginner or intermediate knitter—with simple stranded knitting, this is perfect for the mitten knitter who is new to stranded knitting or for the stranded knitting knitter who is new to mitten patterns.
