Spiral Rib Mittens pattern by Mildred Oakey Adaptable to many sizes by changing the needle size, yarn, and/or number of stitches. Or leave off the thumb and make tube socks.

Just learned that my bestie’s grandma had her mitten pattern published in a book on folk knitting. I can’t wait to make him these mittens! 🧶

A small swatch of naturally colored linen-alpaca blend sits on top of a bulky knit white knit background. The swatch has a partial fair isle pattern of a man and woman holding hands, with the design in gray against a cream colored background. Two small green snake emojis have been printed and digitally transferred to the knit sample. The man has painted green legs and a yellow arm. It’s painted with screen printing ink. A yellow and green half-arc are painted at the top edge, which is unraveling, resembling a rainbow.

Happy new year! #yearofthesnake
