Anisoptera Mitten Knitting Pattern (PDF)

PDF digital download only

The Anisoptera mitten pattern is inspired by the majestic Dragonfly. It is a fingerless mitten pattern with charted and written instructions. The pattern is written for Fingering / 4ply and DK yarn in sizes S, M and L. 4ply and DK instructions can be found in separate documents. Instructions for colour changes, when using minis skeins, are included in the pattern. Video tutorials on the long tail cast on, how to knit a bobble stitch and the Icelandic bind off to help with this pattern can be found on the Craft House Magic YouTube channel. See link below for full list of tutorials. Links to specific tutorials can be found later in this pattern. Click here for full list of tutorials. The price on my website includes VAT, if you purchasing from outside the UK you may find it cheaper on Raverly.
