Castle Walls
Resembling the neatly stacked bricks of the iconic Malbork Castle, this beautifully textured mitts pattern features a simple yet elegant pattern stitch that serves as its primary building block. Unlike the labor-intensive process of constructing a castle, this knitting project allows you to work quickly and efficiently, stitch by stitch, much like laying down bricks. Discover the joy of creating something special and cozy in no time!
Available Languages: This versatile pattern is offered in several languages for a wider reach and accessibility: - English - French - Polish
Sizes Available: Choose from a range of sizes to suit your needs: S (M, L, XL). Finished measurements include Hand circumference: 18.5 (21, 26, 28.5) cm/7.25 (8.25, 10.25, 11.25) inches and Arm length to wrist: 15 cm/6 inches. Detailed measurements are provided in the pattern for perfect fitting.
Recommended Yarn: For this project, we suggest using Malabrigo Sock yarn, which is crafted from 100% Merino wool, offering a soft touch and vibrant color. Each skein has 402m/440yds per 100 g, and the recommended colorway for this pattern is SW806 Impressionist Sky. You will need only 1 skein to complete your mitts!
Needles Required: To achieve the best results, use size 2.75 mm/US#2 needles or whatever size is necessary to meet your gauge. You can opt for double-pointed needles (DPNs) or use circular needles if you prefer the magic loop method. Both options work well for this pattern.
Additional Supplies: Be sure to gather the necessary tools: 5 stitch markers, stitch holders or waste yarn, and a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends. These small items are essential for a smooth knitting experience!
Gauge Information: Achieve the perfect fit by maintaining a gauge of 24 stitches and 32 rounds over a 10 cm / 4-inch area in stockinette stitch. This crucial step ensures that your mitts will turn out just the way you envision!
