LoginA sixteenth-century child’s mitten now in the collection of the Museum of London inspired this contemporary mitten design in two sizes. Susan has chosen knitting techniques known from the sixteenth century, such as the early German fingertip (or Emily Ocker) cast-on and the haphazard placement of knit-two-together decreases. In this pattern download, you'll get instructions to knit a child size and adult size.
