These cozy mittens in two sizes (S/M and M/L) feature a panel motif drawn straight from the kale patch. This stranded colorwork project takes advantage of a deep, nearly solid fore ground color to create distinct shapes with highlights in brighter tones. A tweed yarn for the background shade imparts a woodcut effect to the whole composition. Use soft, lofty yarns that will bloom easily for a final result with a consistent surface. Matching Motifs: Lacinato Cap , Kalio Suggested Yarns: Stone Soup DK, Kent DK, or Better Breakfast DK Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size and elasticity.
