Drop Stitch Braid Mitt

Discover the charming Drop Stitch Braid Mitt, the perfect companion to the coordinating matching Hat. This delightful and stylish mitt is designed for quick and enjoyable knitting, featuring a worked flat cuff and a seamlessly joined body that is worked in the round. Available in two convenient sizes—9-inch and 12-inch circumference—these mitts can also be easily adjusted to fit larger or smaller hands, making them a versatile choice for any knitter. The Drop Stitch Braid Mitt requires approximately 280-300 yards of soft, luxurious fingering weight yarn, paired with size 4 US needles for achieving the ideal gauge of 32 stitches by 44 rows per 4 inches. For those who want to add an extra touch of finesse, a small crochet hook may be helpful for picking up the floats from the dropped stitches; however, it is not a requirement to complete this pattern. At the end of the pattern, you'll find a brief photo tutorial that guides you through the enchanting process of creating the intricate drop stitch braids, enhancing your knitting skills and elevating the finished look of your mitts.
