Kirstina Mittens Pattern - Winter Edition

Difficulty level 1/5 - 
Patterns at this level are suitable for beginners who have learnt to knit and purl and want to knit a garment with simple increases and decreases.

There are clear descriptions and links to videos showing how to perform the techniques.

Difficulty level 2/3 -  
These patterns are for beginners, without the techniques being described quite as clearly or where the increases themselves are slightly advanced. There aren't several techniques going on at once, so you can focus on the one part that is more difficult than regular beginner knitting.

Difficulty level 3/5 -   
At this level you can expect either more advanced techniques, such as reading a simple pattern chart, making cables and texture knitting. You won't experience multiple techniques going on at the same time, but the techniques are for advanced knitters.

Difficulty level 4/5 -    
For the advanced knitter who has mastered a wide range of techniques and is comfortable with multiple techniques being used at the same time. For example, working increases while reading a pattern or making cables while working increases and color changes.

Difficulty level 5/5 -     
For those who have mastered the techniques and don't mind sometimes being challenges and keeping your focus, because there are color changes, increases and a pattern to follow at the same time. This is also where you'll find more advanced constructions, where stitches need to be picked up and knitted in constructions.
