CJ's Garter Cuff Mittens

This delightful knitting pattern for mittens combines practicality with warmth and style, making it an essential project for any knitter! Designed to be cozy and snug, these mittens feature a thick garter stitch cuff that effectively keeps out the cold and snow, ensuring your hands stay toasty during winter outings.

As a seasoned knitter and mother of eight, I've crafted countless mittens over the years, but my youngest has certainly kept me busy. Each year, I find myself creating new mittens for Carl, who seems to grow taller by the day! At 13 years old, his hands are almost as big as mine, and despite his new-found knitting skills, he still prefers the warmth and comfort of Mom's handmade mittens. It's a heartwarming reminder of the special bond we share through this craft.

This pattern includes not just mittens but also a matching hat and stylish fingerless mitts in the companion patterns, providing a complete set to keep you warm while looking fabulous in the winter season. I highly recommend knitting several sets to be ready for the next cold snap! With just two skeins of the main color and one skein of contrast, you can create all three pieces, making this an economical and satisfying project.

Yarn Requirements: You will need worsted weight yarn—Color A: 135 yards, Color B: approximately 50 yards. Gather your materials and get ready to whip up some beautiful and functional winter accessories!

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, this mitten pattern is perfect for all skill levels. Plus, with the added bonus of matching accessories, it makes for a thoughtful and heartfelt gift. So grab your needles and dive into this cozy knitting adventure today!
