Fantastical Fox Mitts

Foxes have captured my heart ever since I read the beloved children's book "Fantastic Mr. Fox." My Fantastical Fox Mitts are a whimsical homage to the charming and clever fox, perfect for knitters who share a love for these enchanting creatures.

These fingerless mitts are designed with a convenient flip top, allowing you to keep your fingers warm while maintaining full accessibility when you need to use them. The pattern includes detailed instructions for both short and full thumbs, catering to your personal preferences. The mitts are expertly knitted in the round, starting with the top flap that seamlessly transitions into the main mitt as you work. With a waste yarn thumb gusset technique, you can create a comfortable fit without any cumbersome seams. Thanks to Judy’s Magic Cast On, the mitts are entirely seam-free, eliminating the need to go back and join the top of the flap at the end.

To secure the flap, you have the option to use either a short crocheted chain or an i-cord loop buttonhole, with complete instructions provided for both engaging methods. These delightful mitts are knitted using DK-weight yarn at a slightly tighter tension than usual, ensuring that they are not only comfortable but also hard-wearing and durable, perfect for daily wear.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking to expand your skills, the Fantastical Fox Mitts pattern makes for a fun and rewarding project. Embrace your creativity and celebrate your love for foxes with this stylish and functional accessory. Download your pattern today and start your crafting journey!
