Dancing Dolphin Mitts
If you’re a knitting enthusiast who adores the sea and its playful inhabitants, then our Dancing Dolphin Mitts pattern is perfect for you! This delightful design, inspired by the elegance and grace of dolphins in Polynesian art, allows you to showcase your love for these marine creatures while keeping your hands warm during cold winter days. The mitts come in three sizes—small, medium, and large—ensuring a perfect fit for every knitter.
The Dancing Dolphin Mitts pattern features unique dolphin motifs, with each hand showcasing a different design. You'll also love the creative touches of water spray for the thumb and an abstract wave pattern for the palm, making each mitt a work of art. The thoughtful incorporation of approximately 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) of negative ease provides a snug and warm fit, so you can enjoy the delightful playfulness of dolphins even in chilly weather.
Here are the size specifications for the mitts:
- Women’s Small—fits palm circumference of 7 inches (17.7 cm)
- Women’s Medium—fits palm circumference of 7.5 inches (19 cm)
- Women’s Large—fits palm circumference of 8 inches (20 cm)
To achieve your desired fit, please note the importance of gauge:
- 9 stitches = 1 inch
- 8 rows = 1 inch (2.5 cm)
- 36 stitches X 36 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in stranded work
This pattern requires fingering weight yarn in two colors, with one skein of each color recommended. For best results, we suggest using quality yarns such as Jamieson's of Shetland or Cascade Yarns, which provide the perfect texture and warmth needed for these beautiful mitts.
Whether you’re knitting these mitts for yourself or as a charming gift to a fellow sea lover, the Dancing Dolphin Mitts pattern is sure to make a splash. Dive into this project and carry a piece of the ocean with you wherever you go!
