Late last year, I was lucky to have a needlepoint mitten published in Needlepoint Now’s November/December issue. The pattern was a sampler style featuring a variety of stitches in a popular and beautiful colour palette. Today I’d like to share a second blue mitten pattern.
As I was designing my Frosty Morning pattern, I started to think of other patterns using either ALL or SOME of the colours in the kit with perhaps the addition of a fifth colour! After all, wouldn’t it be nice to stitch up more than one mitten, so I did!!!
There is no pattern offered for the mitten displayed above. A template is available for my Frosty Morning Mitten in the Needlepoint Now November/December 2022 issue.
How Did I Stitch This Blue Mitten Pattern
The body of the mitten is stitched with a framed diagonal cashmere variation. I alternated Colours 33 provided in the kit with the addition of a tropical blend, Colour 46. The cuff is stitched with Colour 73 (included in the kit).
I used size 5 Perle cotton in
I think this colour palette is cheerful, bright and tropical! If you are not interested in stitching mittens, perhaps this will inspire a new needlepoint project OR what about some wool applique?
Most importantly, have fun and remember, experiment with colours!
I will be continuing with my mittens throughout this year so stay tuned for more very colourful designs!
