DIGITAL ITEM knitting instructions. Herding Hens Mitts. In English only.
Whether you keep chickens or just enjoy the lovely whimsical look of these, I hope you enjoy how quick they are to knit and how practical they are to wear, keeping your hands warm but fingers free for all your other daily activities! They´re also a perfect gift knit for any chicken loving family and friends.

These mittens feature the fun hen motif from the much-loved Herding Hens socks. This mitt pattern includes two charts with either a three-colour option for highlighting those beak and eye details (which can be duplicate stitched on too if preferred), or a simpler two colour in one row motif option.
