Domo Mittens Pattern

Who doesn't love a good anime-inspired knit up?! Here is my completed Domo Mittens pattern for your delight. (You can also download the PDF by clicking right here.)

Domo - Domo

There are two different charts - one for the authentic Domo mouth, and one that unintentionally couches a batman logo between the teeth. Blame it on my son - I definitely seem to have Mr Wayne on the brain. It's not horrible, though, so I've included it with the pattern.


This is a first-go at a pattern, so...be kind! Let me know if you run into any trouble or if I can improve things. Also, feel free to comment or post pictures of any projects you finish using the chart or the full mittens...I love seeing other peoples' works.


Enough rambling. Enjoy!
