Bracken Mitts

Perfect for fall, these charming fair isle mitts are expertly knit in a beautiful palette of rust, brown, and cream, accented with delightful flashes of purple and orange, all set against a vibrant turquoise blue background. Designed with a practical thumb gusset and featuring detailed charts for both left and right hands, these mitts are versatile and stylish. They come in a one-size-fits-all option that fits a woman's hand circumference of 7-7.5 inches (18-19 cm), making them a thoughtful gift for friends or a cozy accessory for yourself.

Ideal for using up your yarn stash, these mitts require only small amounts of fingering weight yarn, needing two main colors along with five contrasting shades for those stunning fair isle patterns. The finished mitts weigh approximately 26g combined, making them lightweight yet warm. Whether you prefer a classic or contemporary look, these mitts can easily be customized to match your style.

Designed for knitters who have experience with stranded colorwork in the round, this pattern offers a rewarding challenge while allowing you to create a practical and fashionable accessory. The yarns used in the sample include J C Rennie’s Supersoft Lambswool 4ply, complemented by a touch of Rowan Fine Tweed, ensuring quality and warmth.
