Chunky Rainbow Mittens

Introducing our chunky rainbow mittens knitting pattern, perfect for knitters of all levels! These vibrant mittens are designed to be easy to knit using either a medium or long circular needle with the magic loop technique, or a set of double-pointed needles for those who prefer traditional methods. We’ve also provided helpful links to Magic Loop video tutorials in both English and French to ensure you have all the resources you need for success, whether you choose to knit in the round or opt for double-pointed needles.

This pattern has become my go-to choice for crafting stylish fingerless gloves. It serves as an excellent foundation for more intricate designs, allowing you to experiment with various wrist lengths, unique cable patterns, or a mix of fun colors. By knitting these mittens in the round, you’ll eliminate seams, providing a snug and comfortable fit on your hands.

If you're interested in making these delightful mittens for a child, it's simple to adjust the pattern. You can maintain the same stitch count while using thinner yarn and smaller needles. I’ve successfully created mittens for my daughter using a double-knitting yarn with needle sizes 3.5mm and 4mm (which correspond to US sizes 5 and 6). These mittens fit perfectly for children aged 7 to 11 years old. I’m also eager to explore using Aran (worsted) weight yarn with needle sizes 4.5mm and 5mm (US sizes 7 and 8) to test different looks and fits.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, these chunky rainbow mittens not only keep your hands warm but also add a splash of color to your winter wardrobe.
