Compass Point Mitts

When winter arrives, chapped hands and perpetually dry skin become a common affliction in many parts of the world. To combat these harsh elements, hand coverings such as mittens, gloves, mitts, or even a luxurious fur muff serve as our primary line of defense. However, I consider myself a pragmatist, and when faced with accessories that require too much fuss and bother, I often prefer to forego the hassle altogether. This practical mindset leads me to favor mitts, which allow my fingers to remain free for essential tasks like rummaging for keys or opening a bottle. In my opinion, mitts stand out as the most practical choice for winter hand protection.

Despite my pragmatic approach, I can't help but whine and whinge if I get too cold. That's why I've chosen to create these cozy mitts in a generous, undyed DK yarn. The design features a simple yet elegant color-work motif that not only looks beautiful but also ensures that both colors are seamlessly carried around the body of the mitt. This thoughtful combination provides added warmth and a delightful degree of cushiness, both of which are essential for cold-weather comfort. In this pattern, you'll find detailed instructions to help you craft these stylish mitts that offer both functionality and charm. So, whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, these mitts will keep your hands warm while allowing you the freedom to tackle your winter activities with ease.
