Delta Mitts
Introducing the Delta Mitts knitting pattern, a stylish and cozy accessory that features long contrast-colored cuffs and a simple striped thumb gusset. These mitts are not just super comfortable but also quick to knit, making them a perfect project for knitters of all levels. Whether you're looking to enhance your knitting skills or create a thoughtful gift, the Delta Mitts are the perfect choice!
Size: Designed to fit hand circumference of 15-20cm [6-8in], with an actual mitt circumference of 16.5cm [6½in]. The length from cuff to finger opening measures 19.5cm [7¾in], providing a warm and snug fit for your hands.
Skills Required: This engaging pattern will help you practice essential knitting techniques including casting on, knitting, purling, increasing, stranded colorwork, reading charts, working in the round, casting off, and picking up stitches. Perfect for both beginner and seasoned knitters!
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 24 stitches and 26 rows to 10cm [4in] over stranded colorwork using larger needles, after washing and blocking for optimal results. This ensures that your mitts come out just right, with the perfect fit and beautiful drape.
Yarn: For this delightful project, we recommend using The Island Wool Company Navia Duo 4ply yarn, which is composed of 80% Faroese wool and 20% English lambswool for incredible warmth and softness. You will need: Yarn A: Curry (N236) - 1 x 50g ball, Yarn B: Light Grey (N22) - 1 x 50g ball, and Yarn C: Charcoal Grey (N24) - 1 x 50g ball. These quantities are enough to create both the mitts and a matching hat, allowing for a coordinated knitting experience!
Needles and Accessories: To achieve the correct gauge, always use the needle size that suits your knitting style. While double-pointed needles (DPNs) are recommended, feel free to replace them with your preferred knitting method, whether it's magic loop, two-at-a-time, or another technique of your choice.
