Diamonds and Purls Mitts

Sometimes those beautiful purl stitches deserve to be showcased rather than hidden inside your mitts. This delightful knitting pattern is the perfect way to highlight that unique skein of hand-dyed yarn that has been patiently waiting in your stash for the right project to come along! With a simple two-stitch cable design, this pattern offers a wonderfully intuitive flow, making it both easy to follow and interesting to knit.

This versatile pattern is written for TWO weights of yarn: fingering AND worsted, so why not take this opportunity to knit two stylish pairs of mitts? Whether you're looking for lightweight fingerless gloves or cozy mittens, this pattern has you covered!

While there are several cables integrated into the design, the good news is that they all only utilize 2 stitches. If you haven’t tried it yet, this is an excellent chance to master the art of knitting cables without a cable needle, allowing for a smoother and more enjoyable knitting experience.

Yarn required: For the Fingering/4ply version, you will need approximately 150m/164yd, while the Worsted/10ply requires around 88m/96yd. This makes for a fantastic stash-busting project that will help you utilize those beautiful yarns you've been saving!

Additionally, there is a matching hat pattern available, allowing you to create a coordinated set that is both functional and fashionable. Start your next knitting adventure today with this charming mitts pattern and enjoy the joyous process of creating unique handmade accessories!
