Stained Glass Bubble Mittens

Meet the latest member of the Stained Glass Bubble family:


These colorful mittens, each wearable on either hand, are knit in the round cuff-to-tip and feature a doubled cuff for extra warmth and stretch. Like the other SGB patterns, the easy bubble stitch combines the look of two-color knitting with the ease and speed of only knitting one color per round.

The pattern is written for a range of sizes from child to adult.


Notes for knitting a fingerless version are included.




This pattern is best suited for intermediate or ambitious advanced beginner knitters.


The pattern is seven pages. The stitch pattern is written out (there are no charts) and the pattern includes links to on-line video and photo tutorials for certain techniques.


Yarns pictured are Noro Kureyon Sock and Louet Gems Super Fine fingering weight, 1 skein of each, both 14 wpi. Another variegated yarn could be used in place of the Kureyon, although it may not give the same finished look. Or pick your two favorite colors and go solid!
