Variations on a Theme Mitten Challenge
Thanks to member Heather K’s suggestion, the 2025 Variations on a Theme Mitten Challenge is underway! Two of our partners will be clamoring for warm mittens come fall, and we’d love to donate as many as we can. Let’s aim for 100 pairs, from toddler to adult sizes!
For this challenge, choose one of the two free patterns below and knit mittens (lots of mittens!) with your customized touches. Fun colors! Stripes! Marled yarns! Stranded knitting! A bobble or two! The challenge will run through July. We will take pictures of donated mittens and put together a show and tell for the August meeting.
Purl Soho’s Arched Gusset Mittens
Tin Can Knits’ World’s Simplest Mittens
Donate your mittens through any of the usual means: Knitting Around Town, Venn, or by appointment (email service@knitters.org). Be sure to write your name on a piece of paper and include it with your mitten donation! We will take a photo to include in the show and tell.
If the two challenge patterns don’t excite you, please choose another pattern and help us meet our goal of 100!
