Durum Mittens

Discover the beauty and charm of twist stitches with our delightful Durum pattern, which features fun and easy mock cables. These unique stitches create a rich texture that truly stands out, especially when crafted from thick, chunky wool. The thickness of the yarn accentuates the twist stitches, giving your fingerless mittens a bold and cozy look that is reminiscent of hearty durum wheat ears.

Pattern Information

The Durum fingerless mittens come in three versatile sizes: small, medium, and large, making them perfect for everyone in your family. Crafted with a blend of style and functionality, these mittens are perfect for keeping your hands warm while allowing your fingers to remain free for everyday tasks.

This pattern is best suited for intermediate knitters; however, confident beginners can also tackle it with the helpful notes provided. Throughout the pattern, you'll find detailed instructions on how to join in the round, perform a make one (m1), and execute a left twist stitch, making it an excellent opportunity to enhance your knitting skills. Keep in mind that binding off involves borrowing a stitch. For instance, when binding off 2 stitches in the middle of a row of 4 stitches, you would first knit the initial 3 stitches, then pass the second stitch over the third stitch, knit the fourth stitch, and finally pass the third stitch over. This method leaves you with 1 stitch, a 2-stitch gap, and 1 concluding stitch.

Get ready to enjoy knitting these stylish Durum fingerless mittens, perfect for cold weather, gift-making, or simply indulging yourself in a charming and practical accessory. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, this pattern offers an enjoyable challenge and a stunning end product that you’ll be proud to wear or gift.
