The Camellia Mittens are part of the second edition of the Crochet Capsule! The theme for this edition is Festive Nights! We drew inspiration from all the fun events that take place in the fall! Things like fall festivals, pumpkin patches, hayrides, and more!
The Camellia Mittens are crochet mittens that are worked from the bottom up. You’ll start with the ribbed cuff and then work the stitch combo to the top. At the top you’ll decrease to close and then work the thumb.
This pattern comes in 5 sizes: Toddler, Child, Teen, Adult Small, and Adult Large.
The pattern includes stitch definitions and a link to a video that shows you how to decrease your mittens to close.
I used the colorway Jam (73) for my mittens, because for the collection we decided to use jewel tones for our designs. Simply DK has jewel tones, pastels, neutrals, and more! So many choices!
