Beorn Mitts (Worsted)

Elevate your knitting skills with our unique mitt pattern featuring an innovative construction method that sets it apart from typical designs. Begin by creating a beautiful chain cable and seamlessly joining the two ends, then skillfully pick up stitches for the hand. This sophisticated pattern incorporates a more intricate cable design compared to a simple crossover, resulting in a visually striking accessory. Our pattern provides detailed instructions for crafting both fingerless and full-hand mittens, making it a versatile addition to your knitting repertoire. For a complete set, don’t miss the matching Beorn hat, available in both DK and Worsted weights.

Finished Size: The mittens have a cozy 7.5” circumference and stretch approximately 2.5”, ensuring a comfortable fit for various hand sizes.

Yarn: We recommend using Cascade 220 or any worsted weight yarn, with approximately 130 yards needed for the fingerless versions and 150 yards for the full mittens.

Needles: You will need circular needles and a set of 5 double-pointed needles, or you can use your preferred method for knitting in the round. The recommended needle size is 6 US (4.0 mm), or choose a size that helps you achieve the perfect gauge.

Gauge: Achieve precise results with a gauge of one repeat of the chain cable (knit flat) measuring 3.5 inches wide by 2.25 inches long. The stockinette stitch gauge in the round is 22 stitches and 26 rows over a 4” swatch.

Perfect for experienced knitters looking to expand their skills or for those seeking stylish, warm accessories, this pattern is sure to impress. Whether you're making these mitts for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, our Beorn mittens promise to be a delightful project that combines functionality with elegance.
