P13 Mitts

I have had the idea for these mitts in my head for a while and finally said, I am just going to make them, and suss out the pattern. 

These mitts would look great in any yarn of a comparable weight, DK or worsted. Solid would look good as well as a slightly variegated. This yarn by Rowan is affordable and wonderful if you want a solid. This absolutely gorgeous Muse Hand-painted is also affordable would work well if you held it doubled.

Check out my Simple Mitts here: Simple Mitts.

Yarn: Hedgehog Fibres DK (I used Budgie), or other variegated worsted/DK weight yarn.
Gauge:
Needles: Us size six, or size needed to obtain gauge. Set of DPNs or needles long enough for magic loop. I prefer magic loop. These are my absolute favorite needles for magic loop.
