DN1009 Mohair Mix-Up Mitts and Hat
Discover the cozy charm of our delightful mitten and hat knitting pattern, perfect for a quick and satisfying one-ball project. These warm and fuzzy mittens, paired with a stylish hat, are just what you need on a chilly day to keep you feeling cozy and fashionable! You have the flexibility to create the mittens with or without the luxurious mohair yarn, allowing you to customize your look. Feel free to get creative with your own striped designs, or simply let the amazing sport weight sock yarn do the striping work for you. Plus, you can use up any leftover yarn to make a fun and trendy striped hat that perfectly complements your mittens.
Gauge: For the mittens, aim for 11 stitches and 15 rows per 2 inches when using sport weight yarn held double with lace weight mohair. Alternatively, if you're only using sport weight yarn, target 12 stitches and 16 rows per 2 inches to get the right fit for your cozy creations.
Needles: You'll need 3.75mm (US5) double-pointed needles for crafting the mittens, and a 3.5mm 16-inch circular needle for the hat.
Key to Mittens: Refer to the photograph, starting from the upper-left and moving counter-clockwise. To make one complete pair of mittens, you will need one ball of each suggested yarn type. For a classic look, use a solid sport weight yarn (like blue). If you prefer a vibrant design, use sport weight yarn in two colors (blue & lime) for wide blue and green stripes along with a lace weight mohair (lime) where you’ll hold two strands together—one sport weight and one mohair—for those eye-catching lime stripes. For a playful option, opt for self-striping sock yarn to create a lovely multi-color striped appearance.
This project not only promises warmth but also offers an opportunity for creativity and experimentation with colors. Whether you're a knitting novice or a seasoned pro, these mittens and hat will make a lovely addition to your winter wardrobe. Get started on this charming set today and stay cozy while making a fashion statement! Perfect for gifting or personal use, this pattern is sure to become a favorite in your knitting repertoire!
