ZOE mittens (EN)

Description

My Zoe mittens are knit in-the-round from the wrist up. The stitches for the thumb are first put on hold and then worked in-the-round at the end. Like the Zoe shawl and beanie, the Zoe mittens are meant to be fun and didactic including various patterns and stitches. Easy and quick to knit, they allow you to use up your yarn leftovers and play with colors as you wish.

SKILLS LEVEL: Intermediate

ONE SIZE only (adjustable in length)
