Product Details
Did you like the Octopus Slippers but think, “What if I wanted octopuses on my hands?” Then this is the pattern for you. Named for a headland near my home on Vancouver Island, the Octopus Point mittens are worked in stranded colourwork using fingering weight yarn. The pattern has instructions for 4 sizes, with a slightly different chart for each size; you can further tweak the sizing by adjusting the gauge. To make Octopus Point, you will need to know how to do 2-colour stranded colourwork in the round from charts.
