Fairisle Fox Mitts

Discover the charm of our Fair Isle Fox Mitts / Fingerless Gloves, perfect for adding a whimsical touch to your winter accessories collection. These beautifully designed mitts are knitted in the round from cuff to palm, featuring a delightful stranded pattern of playful foxes on the backs of your hands, and charming little paw prints on the palms. To enhance the detail, the distinctive black outlines for the foxes and paw prints are created using a simple duplicate stitch technique after the mitts have been knitted. This not only adds depth to the design but also makes the knitting process enjoyable and rewarding.

These fingerless gloves are not only stylish but also practical, ensuring that your fingers stay warm while allowing you to maintain dexterity for tasks like texting or sipping coffee. Each mitt measures approximately 17 cm (6 ¾ inches) from the cuff to the palm edge, making them a comfortable fit for most hand sizes. The project is approachable for knitters of various skill levels, whether you are a seasoned pro or a beginner looking to expand your knitting repertoire.

For this attractive project, you'll need Schachenmayr Baby Smiles Bravo Baby 4 Ply yarn, which is made from 100% acrylic and comes in 50g balls. You’ll need one ball of each color to create a complete pair of mitts, but don’t worry—you’ll have plenty of yarn left over for other delightful projects. The mitts are showcased in the gorgeous shades of Schwarz (01099), Weiss (01001), and Lily (01027), providing a beautiful contrast that really makes the design pop.

To get started, you will need the following materials:

• 1 set of circular needles in size 2mm (US0) or the size needed to match your gauge
• 1 darning/wool needle for weaving in ends
• A few stitch markers to keep track of your rounds
• A stitch holder or some scrap yarn for any stitches you need to set aside

These fun and functional Fair Isle Fox Mitts make perfect handmade gifts for friends and family, ensuring they'll stay cozy and stylish all season long. Embrace your creativity and let your knitting skills shine with this charming project!
