Felted Mittens
Felted Mittens Pattern: A Cozy Essential for Winter Adventures Our Felted Mittens are not just stylish; they are designed for maximum warmth and functionality, making them the perfect accessory for cold winter days. Crafted with a unique felting technique, these mittens are both waterproof and windproof, allowing you to enjoy outdoor activities such as snow play, skiing, or even a brisk bike ride to town without worrying about chilly fingers.
Construction Details This delightful pattern is knitted from the bottom up, utilizing the magic loop technique for an even and seamless finish. For those who prefer traditional methods, you can also use 4 double-pointed needles to complete your mittens. This versatile approach ensures that knitters of all skill levels can enjoy creating these cozy winter accessories.
Sizes Available Our Felted Mittens pattern comes in multiple sizes: S (M, L), with the length after felting measuring approximately 24 (27, 29) cm / 9.5 (10.5, 11.5) inches. This variety ensures a perfect fit for everyone in the family, making them a great gift option as well!
Yarn Information For these mittens, we recommend using Sandness PEER GYNT, a high-quality 100% Norwegian Wool yarn. Each skein provides 90m (98 Yd) of warmth in a 50g (9.75oz) package, available in charming Light Grey and Dark Grey shades. This wool not only contributes to the mittens' felted finish but also provides durability and warmth, essential for winter wear.
Yarn Requirements To complete your project, you will need 3 skeins of dark grey (about 50g each) and 1 skein of light grey (about 50g, model 1 only). This combination not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your mittens but also ensures they are ready for any winter adventure.
Tension Guide Achieving the perfect fit is key, and this pattern requires a tension gauge of 20 stitches and 26 rounds = 10 cm [4 inches] over stockinette before the felting process. Getting your tension right will ensure your mittens turn out snugly and comfortably, ready to keep your hands warm all season long.
