Original Patterns: Quo Vadis and Skogafjall

Knitter Extraordinaire: Lisa (Ravelry ID)

Mods: Lisa combined the Quo Vadis mitten pattern with the charts from the Skogafjall sweater yoke for great results. Details on her project page, here.

What Makes This Awesome: Putting a stranded sweater yoke design on mitten is ALWAYS a good idea! I’m a big fan of taking the beautiful charts of some of those wonderful  sweaters and scaling them down and experimenting with mittens, hats or cowls. Look at these simple but lovely mittens – the shaping is from Quo Vadis, and the charts are from Skogafjall. What makes this work so well for sizing is that the original patterns are similar gauge, and the yoke of the sweater is not too long for the length of the mitten. There’s  great way to get a perfect fit!
