Inspiration
After coming up with the idea to make a Mini Country Cottage Stocking I wanted to see what other Country Cottage designs would work great as a mini version! The mitten was an obvious choice!
This mini mitten is the perfect size for a gift card or to add little treats into. It also looks super cute hanging from the tree! It’s full of the same great texture as the rest of the Country Cottage Collection and it works up so fast!
Yarn
For my mini mitten I used Red Heart Super Saver but feel free to use any medium (4) weight yarn! One of the best parts of this pattern is that is uses a minimal amount of yarn so you can use any left over yarn you may have in your stash!
Some other yarn brands I think would work great for this pattern is: Lion Brand Yarn Color Theory, Lion Brand Yarn Basic Stitch, , Big Twist Value, I love This Yarn, or Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek.
