Star Sign Stash Mittens - CAPRICORN

A stash yarn project to use up all those odd little remnants. This is the twelfth 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 Earth sign Capricorn, I have used brown & grey but obviously this is open to individual interpretation of this sign's pallette. The mittens feature a mountain/sea border & a beaded edging, with the Capricorn seagoat symbol (worked in duplicate stitch) added to the finished mittens.

Instructions are in three sizes, to suit pre-teen to adults. Each pair of mittens uses (in DK yarn) 35 - 40g main colour, 12g border colour plus 5g oddments of others 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.
