I was searching for a pattern that would allow me to use the nine 12 gram skeins of Virtain Villa Finnsheep yarn we dyed the natural dyeing course. When I saw the Newfoundland mittens, I realised this is it. My yarn basket happened to have natural dark brown Virtain Villa yarn to use as the main colour, too :) I made one pair in female size (cast on 40 stitches, 11 pattern repeats) and one in male size (cast on 46 stitches, 15 pattern repeats). The colours in the small mittens go from dark to light and back to dark. The colours in the larger mittens go from dark green towards more yellow. The mittens already are already in Oulu, Northern Finland, ready for use during cold autumn mornings :)
