Sheep Show Mitts Kit - The Bendigo Project 2026

Kit for the Sheep Show Mitts by Kath Martin as part of The Bendigo Project 2026.

This kit includes 2 skeins of yarn (one 100g main colour and one 20g contrast colour), and now includes a pattern code which will allow you you to download the pattern from the launch day on March 28th 2026!

The Yarn

Our Sheep Show Hat kits are dyed on an 8 ply base of 100% Superwash Merino Wool.

250m per 100g / 50m per 20g

This product is individually hand dyed so there will be variation in colours. This is part of the magic of this product. Photographs have been taken to be as accurate as possible, but please understand that viewing environments may change how colours are perceived.

The Pattern

The annual Australian Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo is a winter highlight on every Australian yarn lover’s calendar, and the icy-cold weather at that time means a good pair of mitts is a must!

Sporting beautiful and easy braids and cables, these fingerless mitts are a quick and satisfying knit that will match your Sheep Show Socks and Hat for the perfect winter set.

The pattern is written for DK weight (8ply) yarn – you could choose a special single skein or use a combination of yarns and have fun with colour.

Whip out those needles and enjoy knitting up these warm and gorgeous mitts!
