Modicum Mitts
Modicum Mitts
The Modicum Mitts use small amounts of fingering weight yarn in many colors. It is perfect for using up leftover bits of yarn in your stash, or you can get a Stunning String Mini Set - Essential - the sample shown is in the color way Beachcomber. It looks gorgeous in tonal colors, or a bright and cheerful rainbow!
The simple color work stripes are a great introduction to stranded knitting and the pattern is very easy to memorize! This hat is a perfect match to the Modicum Hat, and if you have a Stunning String mini set then you have enough yarn to complete both the Hat and Mitts!
