The Lucky Shamrocks Mittens by Allison Snopek Banta is a beautifully designed pattern that combines the warmth of Norwegian wool with the charm of an intricate shamrock design. This pattern, using Dale of Norway - Falk 100% Norwegian Wool, creates mittens in a women's medium size (with adjustments for larger or smaller sizes). The mittens feature a knit 2, purl 2 ribbing at the cuff, and the shamrock pattern is created with green yarn. The thumb gusset is carefully crafted with increases and a specific placement of stitches to ensure a comfortable fit. The pattern also includes detailed instructions on colorwork techniques, such as carrying yarn across rows, ensuring the inside of the mitten remains neat without loose ends. Perfect for those who enjoy a challenge and want to create something festive and cozy for the winter months.
