Crosspatch mitts

Discover the joy of knitting with this beautiful and functional pair of warm, squishy mitts! Designed using fingering weight yarn held double, this pattern creates a delightful textured appearance that is both stylish and cozy. Whether you opt for two strands of the same colour for a subtle look or go for contrasting colours to make a bold fashion statement, these mitts are sure to impress. They knit up quickly, making them a perfect choice for a last-minute gift or a quick personal project.

These chic mitts are tailored to fit a medium-sized woman's hand, with a snug fit that provides slight negative ease (approximately 7 to 7.5 inches around the palm). The pattern's gauge measures 22 stitches and 28 rows over 4 inches when using 4mm (US 6) needles with the doubled fingering weight yarn. This ensures your mitts will fit beautifully and comfortably, keeping your hands warm during chilly weather.

For this project, you will need approximately 90 yards of each of two different colours of fingering weight yarn, or 180 yards of a single colour split into two balls. Make sure to have 4mm needles (or sized appropriately to achieve gauge) for working in the round, along with 2 stitch markers to assist with your pattern. This pattern is designed for knitters who are comfortable working in the round over a small diameter, performing increases, and picking up stitches to complete the look.
