Bempton Mittens

For this captivating knitting pattern, I used:

Yarn & Amounts: One 100g hank of high-quality 100% wool aran weight yarn. This wool not only provides warmth but also adds a luxurious feel to your finished project.

Metres/Yardage: Approximately 100m/108yds of yarn is required, ensuring you'll have enough for this lovely mitten design.

Needles: A pair of 5mm knitting needles is essential for achieving the perfect gauge and creating a cozy, snug fit.

Notions: Two stitch holders are recommended to help manage the cable pattern while you work seamlessly.

Gauge (tension): Achieve 18 stitches and 24 rows per 10cm/4ins square over the stunning cable and rib pattern when stretched, using 5mm needles. Proper gauge is key to a well-fitting accessory.

Size: Designed to fit small to large hands, these mittens are versatile and suitable for a variety of users.

My design idea and advice: These stylish mittens are meticulously knitted on straight needles and feature a seam that is easy to sew up after you finish your knitting. I’ve incorporated my favorite cable and rib pattern, which not only adds visual interest but also enhances the durability of the mittens. Once you familiarize yourself with the pattern repeat, you’ll find the process relaxing and enjoyable. These mittens are perfect for beginners eager to develop their knitting skills while creating a beautiful, functional piece. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, this pattern is sure to bring satisfaction as you see your creation come to life!
