If you're looking for a delightful knitting project, look no further than the exquisite Adalmina mittens! These beautiful mittens are not only stylish but also incredibly enjoyable to knit, making them the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe or a thoughtful gift for loved ones. This pattern features easy-to-follow, clear instructions along with a helpful chart, ensuring that knitters of all skill levels can create stunning mittens.
Size: The Adalmina mittens are designed for adults, and what’s great is that the size is fully adjustable, allowing you to customize them for the perfect fit!
Yarn: For the sample mittens showcased in the picture, we've used Cascade 220 yarn in the beautiful color Soft Pink (4192). This yarn is an aran weight, but feel free to explore other yarn options that suit your style. Just keep in mind the gauge to achieve the best results!
This is the yarn quantity you'll need: The mittens in the image were knitted using approximately 70g (2.47oz) of yarn, making them a fantastic project for using up leftover yarn from your stash.
Needles: To achieve the desired gauge, a needle size that fits well is essential. The recommended needle sizes for Cascade 220 are between 4.5-5 mm / US 7-8. However, for the sample mittens featured, we used size 3 mm / US 2.5 needles to create a tighter fabric that enhances warmth and durability.
Gauge: To ensure your mittens turn out the correct size, it's important to check your gauge. For stockinette stitch using size 3 mm / US 2.5 needles, aim for a gauge of 11 stitches = 5 cm / approximately 2 inches. This will help you achieve the best fit and cozy warmth for your Adalmina mittens.
Embrace your creativity and enjoy the satisfying process of knitting these lovely mittens. Whether you keep them for yourself or gift them to someone special, the Adalmina mittens are sure to bring joy and warmth during chilly days!
