Ag piocadh Smeara Dubha

Introducing the stunning "Picking Blackberries" (Ag Piocadh Smeara Dubha) knitting pattern, specially designed for knitters seeking a delightful project. This pattern originally came as part of a comprehensive kit, featuring two 25g skeins of beautifully ombré dyed yarn—one for each mitt. Knit from the cozy double ribbed cuff all the way to the top, these mitts incorporate an elegant cable panel along the front, ribbing on the back, and a thoughtfully shaped thumb gusset to enhance comfort and fit.

The stretchy twisted ribbing that runs the length of each mitten ensures a versatile fit for a variety of hand sizes, making them perfect for gifting or keeping for yourself. This pattern includes clear and detailed instructions available in two sizes: small and large, catering to all knitters’ needs.

For this project, you'll be using Irish Knit Odyssey Aran yarn, made from 100% wool, with a generous yardage of 44 metres (48 yards) per 25 grams in the captivating Ag Piocadh Smeara Dubha colorway (2 skein(s) recommended for each pair). While there is ample yarn in the kit for all sizes, do note that smaller sizes may not fully utilize the entire color gradient, allowing for some creative variations.

To complete your knitting project, you will need a few essential notions: 2 stitch markers, a tapestry needle, a yarn holder or extra needle, and a cable needle. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to expand your skills, the "Picking Blackberries" mittens are a charming addition to your handmade accessory collection.
