Star Sign Stash Mittens - LEO

A stash yarn project to use up all those odd little remnants. This is the seventh 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 fire sign Leo, I have used flame shades but obviously this is open to individual interpretation of the relevant colours. The mittens feature a sunburst beaded border with the Leo 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, 30 - 35g Main colour, 15g border colour plus 5g oddments of five 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.
