About the design

You may think knitted mittens have one sole purpose – keeping hands cosy – but these playful penguins will also put a big grin on your face.

Adding a fun feel to any winter outfit, and knitted in alpaca yarn for the softest
finish, you’ll wonder how you survived winter without them.

This penguin mittens knitting pattern pattern is designed by Amy Philip and was first published in Mollie Makes magazine issue 85

Pattern details

You will need:
● Sublime Superfine Alpaca DK, 100% alpaca, 50g/120m per ball, one ball each in:
Yarn A - Soft Grey (433)
Yarn B - Tusk (430)
Yarn C - Flannel (434)
● Drops Fabel 4 ply, 25% polyamide/75% wool, 50g/205m per ball, small amount in Yarn D - Mustard (111)
● 3.25mm (UK 10, US 3) circular knitting needles
● 4mm (UK 8, US 6) circular knitting needles
● 4mm (UK 8, US 6) double-pointed needles
● Scrap yarn
● Stitch markers
● Tapestry needle

These are knitted in the round on circular needles, but you can use double-pointed needles instead. Divide the sts evenly over the needles, cast on two extra stitches for a seam allowance, and sew up the mittens at the end.

The steps for the left and right mittens are the same, except the thumb gusset. Add the face detail at the end, using duplicate stitch.

Tension:
22 sts and 28 rows to 10cm (4") over stocking stitch on 4mm needles

Finished size:
Approx. 23cm (9 1/8") long and 9cm (3 5/8") wide
