Chelsea Mitts

Discover the cozy charm of Chelsea Mitts, the perfect blend of sweetness and fluffiness, designed to keep your hands warm while adding a stylish touch to your wardrobe. These delightful mitts come with two charming cuff options—choose between 1 ruffle for a subtle flair or go for 2 ruffles for a bolder statement. Whether you’re knitting a thoughtful gift for a loved one or treating yourself to a luxurious accessory, Chelsea Mitts are a joy to create.

Ideal for showcasing that special skein of cashmere or mohair you've been saving, the Chelsea Mitts pattern allows you to unleash your creativity. The design featured in the pattern utilizes two yarns held together, creating a beautifully textured fabric. However, these mitts would also look stunning using a single strand of mohair blend fingering or sport weight yarn, allowing for endless customization options.

This bottom-up design is approachable and user-friendly, making it a fantastic choice for beginner knitters looking to expand their skills. The required yarn weight is fingering / 4 ply (14 wpi), providing a delicate yet warm finish to your mitts. To help you achieve your perfect fit, the gauge is 23 stitches per 4 inches, ensuring accuracy in your project.

You'll need a couple of needle sizes to complete your Chelsea Mitts: US 6 (4.0 mm) for the main body and US 4 (3.5 mm) for the cuffs. As for yarn requirements, you'll need between 250 and 320 yards (229 to 293 meters) of your chosen yarn, depending on the size you intend to create.

The pattern is available in three sizes to accommodate different hand measurements: 6” Small, 7” Medium, and 8” Large. So, whether you're knitting for yourself or someone special, you can ensure a perfect fit. Embrace the art of knitting with Chelsea Mitts and elevate your handmade accessory collection today!
