Keep little hands and fingers toasty warm this season with Sian Brown's bright and breezy fair isle mittens .

Mittens are a wardrobe must-have for babies. Having cold hands is no fun, and these jazzy mitts will keep fingers and hands warm and feeling comfy outdoors in the chillier weather. They're worked in fair isle and feature fun design details like zigzags, stripes and blocks. A snug fitting ribbed cuff will ensure wrists are toasty warm, too. Make them in bright, contrasting colours to fascinate babies' visual curiosity.

PATTERN NOTES

Follow charted instructions for the colourwork, reading chart from right to left and working in the round. Make the same yarn the "top" yarn when stranding - in our sample, the background yarn has been worked as the "top" yarn - and strand the yarns loosely enough so that the fabric can move when worn. There are no floats more than three stitches in width, so there is no need to tack floats down.
