Meadow Frost Fair Isle Mittens Pattern

Here is the second of my designs originally published in the new issue of Simply Knitting. These mittens are seriously cosy, knitted in Blacker Swan Falkland Islands wool DK, which sooo soft! The pattern came about by mistake when I was charting an old vintage chevron pattern and messed it up, so I flipped it over and ended up with this:

The pattern is a simple two-colour standed design which is fun to knit.  The mittens are worked in the round, increasing for the thumb, which is then added on afterwards.  The pattern is charted clearly and is available in 2 sizes: 18-20cm (7-8in) and 21-23cm (81/4-9) in.
