These soft and warm mittens are knit from four new colors of Vermont O~Wool which is a lovely organic merino yarn. The pattern is currently available HERE on Ravelry and it will be up on Patternfish and in my Lulu store soon. I thought the color patterns reminded me of cut-outs so I named them Tijeras which means scissors in Spanish.
The mittens are knit from cuff to tip and feature a peasant thumb and a ribbed cuff. Because O~Wool Classic 2-ply is so thick and springy, consider using a sport weight yarn if you're going to substitute. The pattern is 56 sts around. I included separate charts for each hand to keep the row join on the outside of the mitten.
