Overscale Plaid – Red Palms & Cuffs

Since the Tartan mittens have been so popular, I decided this over-scaled plaid sweater that I bought for my husband, but he never wore, would be my next “cut-up” (my name for sacrificed sweaters). Combinations of loden green, oatmeal, and red will be the palms and linings. I haven’t completed cutting up the sweater, so I am not sure how many pairs of mittens I can make. Since I am cutting it on the diagonal, that will limit the number also.  Expect that I will make at least 6 pairs of mittens from this large sweater.  The first few pairs will have red boiled wool palms and cuffs. I lined the mittens with loden green fleece. Remember that due to the large size of this plaid pattern, every pair will be somewhat different.  Like snowflakes, each one will be different.
