The Sweet Dreams Mittens, a sister design to the Sweet Dreams Sweater, is a pair of colourwork mittens exploring whimsical and playful motifs, certain to add a dash of magic and joy to cold winter days.
The Sweet Dreams Mittens are worked in the round from the bottom - up using stranded colourwork motifs. First, stitches are cast on to your needles using the tubular cast on. The work is joined in the round and 1x1 (k1, p1) ribbing is worked to create the folded cuff. Next, colourwork charts are worked throughout the full mitten (excluding the cuff). Increases are worked simultaneously to shape the thumb gusset before thumb stitches are put on hold and are separated from the rest of the mitten. Finally, decreases are worked to shape the top of the mitten and the last stitches are grafted together using the kitchener stitch. The thumb stitches are placed back on your needles from being on hold and colourwork motifs are worked throughout the thumb.
This pattern is knit with 2 strands of fingering weight yarn held together, the total yarn weight used should be DK/ light worsted weight.
The sample knit in the photos is modeled in a size 6 (Adult M) and includes a liner. A tutorial for how to create a lining for your mittens can be found in the ‘finishing’ section of this pattern.
