Beeswax Mitts
The Beeswax Mitts are the perfect accessory for anyone looking to stay warm and stylish during colder months. These cosy, cabled hand-warmers are designed to complete the beautiful Beeswax set, which also includes an eye-catching hat and a soft cowl. All pieces in this set feature the same charming double-layered honeycomb pattern that seamlessly transitions into graceful ribbing. The stretchy stitch patterns ensure a snug yet comfortable fit, and the thoughtful shaping around the thumbs elegantly blends into the surrounding honeycomb design.
The delightful honeycomb texture is created using simple mini-cables, allowing you to craft these mitts effortlessly—no cable needle is required! This makes the Beeswax Mitts not only a fashionable choice but also a practical project for both beginner and experienced knitters.
For materials, you will need just 1 skein of Vintage Purls Max yarn, which comprises 75% merino and 25% nylon, providing an amazing softness and durability (227 yards/208 meters per 100g skein). Alternatively, you can use about 140 (194) yards/128 (177.5) meters of any DK-weight yarn that suits your style. The sample colourway featured here is the delightful ‘Toffee Deluxe’, but feel free to get creative and choose your own color!
In addition to the yarn, you will need a few essential tools: a cable needle (optional), waste yarn for holding the thumb stitches, an end-of-round stitch marker, and a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends.
The Beeswax Mitts are designed to fit palm circumferences of 7-7.5 (8-8.5)” / 18-19 (20.5-21.5) cm, making them a versatile choice for various hand sizes. Both charted and written instructions are included in this pattern, ensuring that you have clear guidance every step of the way. Start creating your own cozy Beeswax Mitts today and elevate your winter wardrobe while keeping your hands warm and toasty!
