Star Sign Stash Mittens - CANCER

A stash yarn project to use up all those odd little remnants. This is the sixth in 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 Cancer, I have used shades of blue but obviously this is open to individual interpretation of the relevant colours. The mittens feature a seashell lace border, a beaded edging, with the Cancer symbol (worked in duplicate stitch) added to the finished mittens.

The pattern is offered in three sizes, to suit pre-teen to adults. Each pair of mittens uses, according to size, 35 - 40g Main colour, 10g border colour plus 5g oddments of other colours of choice. 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.
