Bodhi Mittens (and Fingerless Mitts)

Dress up your hands with our stylish hand-knit pattern featuring both mitten and fingerless mitten styles! This versatile design is perfect for knitters of all skill levels and includes detailed options tailored to your preferences. Our comprehensive photo tutorial will guide you through the unique motif stitch, ensuring you achieve stunning results every time. Plus, the cable stitches can be effortlessly executed with or without a cable needle, providing flexibility in your knitting technique. Whether you choose to knit in the round using double-pointed needles (dpns) or opt for circular needles, you’ll enjoy the seamless construction of these fashionable mitts.

For an extra touch of flair, I created a pair adorned with delightful beads. While the main pattern doesn’t include specific beading instructions, incorporating beads is a straightforward process! This pattern uses size 5/0 beads and a small crochet hook (size 10/1.30mm) to add sparkle at just the right moments. After completing each k2tog in pattern rounds 8 and 16, simply add a bead to the resulting stitch for a charming addition to your handmade accessory.

You will need a total of 120 beads for a complete pair of mittens (4 beads per “motif” on each mitten), or 96 beads for creating a stunning pair of fingerless mitts. Enjoy the satisfaction of crafting these beautiful, functional pieces that will keep your hands warm while showcasing your knitting skills.
