Annys gloves and headband
Discover the cozy charm of these Fair Isle fingerless mitts and headband set, perfect for keeping you warm through autumn, winter, and into the early days of spring. This delightful knitting project is designed to be worked in the round, featuring a thumb that is knit last, making it an excellent choice for those new to Fair Isle knitting techniques. Whether you're looking to enhance your accessory collection or create a thoughtful gift for a loved one, this set is both stylish and functional.
Materials Needed:
To create your own Fair Isle set, you'll need Cascade 220 Fingering yarn – a lovely 4 ply that comes in 100g hanks, providing you with approximately 250m (273 yards) per hank. For this project, the yarn is held double throughout the knitting process. If you prefer to work with a single strand, a light double knitting yarn will yield excellent results as well, though remember that different fiber types can produce varying finishes. To complete both the fingerless mitts and headband, you will require approximately 285m (311 yards) of yarn A, 35m (38 yards) of yarn B, and 20m (22 yards) of yarn C, held double.
Finished Sizes:
After blocking, your hand-knit accessories will have the following dimensions:
Fingerless Mitts – Knuckle circumference sizes: S (16 cm / 6.3 in), M (18 cm / 7 in), L (20 cm / 7.8 in). Lengths: S (18 cm / 7 in), M (18.5 cm / 7.2 in), L (19.5 cm / 7.6 in).
Headband – The headband will measure 50 cm (19 in) in circumference and 9 cm (3.5 in) wide, providing a snug fit that keeps you warm while adding a touch of style to your winter outfits.
