Cedar Mittens
The Cedar Mittens are the perfect accessory to complement the stylish Cedar Hat, making an ideal knitwear set for the colder months. Designed for those chilly days when you need that extra touch of warmth and comfort, these mittens feature a beautifully crafted tall cedar pattern that runs elegantly from the ribbed cuff to the fingertips. Constructed simply in stockinette stitch, the Cedar Mittens are knit in the round for a seamless finish that offers both ease and style.
Starting with a ribbed cuff, these mittens are further embellished with a stunning column of lace stitches on the back of the hand, adding a delicate touch to this cozy garment. The intricate lace pattern continues up the mitten, while the rest of the piece is worked in classic stockinette stitch, creating a beautiful contrast in textures. The thumb gusset is cleverly formed as you knit, allowing for a snug fit and comfort, while stitches are held on hold for easy thumb completion later on.
After completing the palm of the mitten with live stitches to your desired length, you’ll expertly decrease at the top for a polished finish. The thumb is then conveniently knit from the stitches saved on hold, making the entire process efficient and enjoyable. Whether you’re looking to stay warm or gift a friend, the Cedar Mittens are a delightful project that combines style and function.
Yarn: 139 (173, 206) yards of DK weight yarn, beautifully showcased in Illimani Baby Llama. For the perfect fit, we recommend choosing a size slightly larger than your palm circumference to ensure maximum comfort and warmth.
These Cedar Mittens are not only practical but also a wonderful addition to your knitting repertoire. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern is an enjoyable project that will keep your hands cozy during winter’s chill. Get ready to embrace the cold season in style with your very own pair of Cedar Mittens!
