We have another gorgeous new p/hop pattern for you lovely p/hop knitters today.

These stylish and cosy mittens were designed and generously donated by Åsa Tysk. Here’s Åsa tells us about her pattern and process:

“The Intertwined mittens were born out of two old, balls of wool and a scrap of mohair. Bored with my other knitting projects I played with them a bit and out came cables in a way I liked. In my imagination I saw them covering a big, wintry sweater, quite a stretch for the small amount of yarn I had, so I settled for handwear.

I had no intention of making a pattern as I have never really written one before but then a Ravelry group I had joined had a big charity knit off and a team was formed in favour of p/hop. Learning that p/hop was dedicated to raise money for Medécins sans frontiers, I felt I had to contribute! So I wrote down instructions for the mittens and with great help from my teammates they became this pattern.

I’m really glad to be doing this for p/hop and MSF!”

Thank you very much Asa, your pattern is beautiful, perfect for Christmas knitting.

As always please don’t forget to make your donation to p/hop based on the number of hours of pleasure you think you will get from p/hop patterns.
