Fiery Mittens

Are you looking for a cozy and colorful knitting project? These delightful mittens are perfect for using up all those leftover bits of aran yarn from your previous projects! Not only will they keep your hands warm during those chilly days, but the easy stitch pattern makes them an enjoyable knit for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike.

The mittens feature a beautiful color effect and interesting texture achieved solely through slipped stitches, along with knit and purl techniques—so there’s absolutely no need for complicated stranded color knitting! Perfect for knitters of all levels, this pattern allows for endless creativity with color combinations, making each pair uniquely yours.

These mittens are knitted in the round, ensuring a seamless and smooth finish. For shaping, it’s important to be familiar with the essential decreases: k2tog, p2tog, ssk, and ssp. Additionally, the technique of grafting will be used for the final few stitches to create a neat edge. If you’re making size L, you’ll also need to increase a few stitches by making a stitch or using any preferred method to ensure the perfect fit.

The pattern provides three sizes: Women's XS/S, M, and L, with an inner circumference of 18 cm (7”), 20 cm (7?”), and 22 cm (8”). With a peasant thumb design, it’s recommended to choose a size generously to accommodate the wider part beneath the thumb, and consider adding an extra 1-2 cm to your circumference above the thumb for added comfort. The smallest size is also suitable for teenagers, making this mitten pattern a fantastic multi-age project!
