Milly the mitten is always ready to lend a helping hand. She keeps fingers cozy during snowy walks and chilly games. Today she is waving hello to everyone at the park. Fill Millyโs fun pattern with your favorite colors!
Milly is ready to say hello with her thumb and fingers held high! Her happy smile makes even a cold day feel friendly. A mitten covers fingers together instead of giving each finger its own little space, so it is a super-snug choice for outdoor play. Millyโs bold pattern is waiting for your ideas. Will she wear swirls, stripes, dots, hearts, or a mix of everything?
Start with two favorite colors for Millyโs pattern, such as purple and teal or red and gold. Fill each shape in a different color to make the mitten stand out. You could give her a pink cuff, blue fingers, and a yellow thumb for a wonderfully goofy style. Color the background light gray or icy blue, then draw little snowflakes nearby. A bright outline around Milly will help her wave shine.
Mittens can help hands stay warm because fingers share their warmth inside one roomy space. Gloves have separate places for each finger, while a mitten has one big pocket for four fingers and a smaller pocket for the thumb. Wool, fleece, and soft knitted yarn are often used to make winter mittens. If mittens get wet in snow, it is important to put on dry ones to stay cozy.
