Blest mittens

Discover the joy of crafting with our beautiful winter mittens, expertly knitted in a traditional Norwegian design. These cozy mittens are not only functional but also a stylish accessory for the cold months ahead. Designed for warmth and comfort, they are perfect for keeping your hands toasty during winter outings.

The mittens are featured in the stunning Sandnes Smart DK wool yarn, renowned for its quality and durability. However, if you're looking for alternatives, Cascade 220 yarn is an excellent choice that will work wonderfully as well. Feel free to explore your creativity by selecting your preferred yarn and color combinations from the pattern, or stick with the suggested DK wool yarn for a classic look.

When it comes to needle sizes, our pattern provides recommended sizes as a guideline. Be sure to check your gauge by knitting a sample swatch to ensure a perfect fit. If your swatch has fewer stitches per 10 cm than the specified gauge, consider reducing your needle size. Conversely, if you have more stitches, you may need to increase your needle size for optimal results.

This delightful mitten pattern is available in sizes tailored for both Women and Men, ensuring a great fit for everyone. For a customized fit, you can slightly alter the size by simply going up half a needle size. Additionally, if you prefer longer or shorter mittens, it's easy to adjust the pattern length by knitting a bit longer or shorter before you begin decreasing.

When using size 3 needles, the finished measurements for the mittens will be as follows: Full length: 31 cm for Women and 35 cm for Men; Cuff length: 9.5 cm; Width: 11 cm for Women and 12.5-13 cm for Men; and Thumb length: 7-7.5 cm for Women and 8 cm for Men. These measurements guarantee a well-proportioned mitten that provides not only warmth but also a comfortable fit. Get ready to embrace the winter chill with your beautifully knitted Norwegian mittens!
