Driftless Mitts Bulky

The Driftless Mitts are inspired by the stunning autumn colors found in the Driftless Region of Western Wisconsin, making them a lovely addition to your fall wardrobe.

Construction: These delightful mitts are a super fast and easy knitting project that offers a rewarding experience, especially for those who are relatively new to using double-pointed needles and basic colorwork techniques. Designed to be knit in the round with the option of working flat, the mitts are constructed from the bottom up. You will increase stitches to create a comfortably fitting thumb and can easily follow a straightforward color chart at the top to showcase your creative flair.

Needles: To create these charming mitts, you'll need US 6/4 mm double pointed needles. If you prefer to work flat, US 6/4 mm straight needles are also suitable.

Notions: Don't forget your essential knitting notions, including stitch markers to keep track of your rounds and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends!

Yarn: For the Driftless Mitts, you'll need bulky weight yarn (12ply/#5), requiring approximately 53-90 yards in your main color and 13-18 yards for your contrasting color. This pattern features the beautiful Ashford Tekapo yarn in the colorways Natural Medium and Mustard, which perfectly embody the autumnal theme.

Finished Size: Once completed, the Driftless Mitts measure about 3.5 inches wide and 8 inches tall, making them the ideal size to fit an average adult hand, as well as older children's hands. These mitts not only provide warmth but also allow you to express your individuality with vibrant colors and thoughtful design.

Whether you're an experienced knitter looking for a quick project or a novice eager to learn, the Driftless Mitts offer a great opportunity to combine fun, functionality, and beautiful craftsmanship. Start knitting these eye-catching mitts today and celebrate the colors of autumn with every stitch!
