Dukes Up

Introducing our lightweight reversible mittens, the ideal knitting project for springtime or those brisk autumn evenings. Designed with a flexible ribbing, these mittens accommodate almost any arm size, allowing for a comfortable fit. You have the option to create either long gauntlets for added warmth or cute, short mitts that are perfect for showcasing your favorite sock yarn. Grab your needles and let your creativity flow!

To successfully knit these versatile mitts, you will need the following materials: Approximately 150-200 meters (or 164-218 yards) of fingering weight yarn, a set of 5 double-pointed needles in size 3 mm (which is equivalent to size 2 ½ US), a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds, and a tapestry needle for the Kitchener stitch – perfect for finishing off your project and weaving in those pesky ends.

Make sure to check your gauge: For this pattern, you’ll need to achieve a gauge of 42 stitches and 40 rows per 10 cm (4 inches) in a 2X2 rib (unstretched) on the 3 mm needle. Getting the right gauge is key to ensuring your mittens fit perfectly!

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern will offer you a fun and enjoyable challenge. So pull out your favorite sock yarn, gather your supplies, and get these delightful reversible mittens on your needles today!
