HELLÄ - MITTENS ENG/US

These beautiful and delicate felted mittens are quickly made from scrap yarn. The pattern has two separate charts, one with a reindeer motif and one without. The reindeer motif is knit first, and the antlers, eyes, and nose are duplicate stitched afterward in a different color. You can also leave the reindeer single-colored if desired.
The mittens are named after Hellä, the reindeer who modeled in my second book.
 
SIZE
6-7 glove size (with 6 mm / US 10 needles)
 
INSTRUCTIONS 
  The size can be adjusted a bit by choosing 0.5-1 mm smaller needles.
Mittens in two colors are softer and stretchier. The duplicate stitching on the reindeer makes the design sturdier and at the same time thicker.
