Join knitting enthusiast, Rosalie, as she shares how to make a pair of mittens using four double pointed needles. Some basic knitting skills would be an asset for this workshop such as how to knit, purl, increase and decrease stitches.

Materials required:

Wool - 190 yards / 100 grams (I like Briggs & Little Regal wool)

Double pointed needles - sizes 3.5 and 4.5 mm

Stitch marker

Tapestry or darning needle

A pattern for a simple pair of mittens will be provided.
