Star Sign Stash Mittens - AQUARIUS

A stash yarn project to use up all those odd little remnants. This is the first of a series of 12 patterns, one for each star sign, for fingerless mittens featuring each sign's astrological symbol and worked in the colours most associated with that sign.

For Aquarius, I have chosen to use mauves & blues but obviously these colours are open to individual interpretation. The mittens feature a ripple pattern border (to represent the water carrier), a beaded edging & the Aquarius symbol (worked in duplicate stitch).

The pattern is offered in three sizes, to suit pre-teen to adults.

Each pair of mittens uses, according to size, 25-30g Main colour, 15-20g border colour plus 5g oddments of other colours. They are worked flat, on single point needles & seamed together. The pattern includes row by row instructions with explanatory photos and charts for each size for placing the motif.

I have made my mittens using a superwash wool yarn but other DK yarns could be used if preferred.
