Fika Mitts

Discover the joy of Swedish culture with a delightful “fika” through our Fika Mitts knitting pattern. A “fika” is not just a coffee break; it's a cherished opportunity to unwind and indulge in a sweet treat. These vibrant mitts embody that philosophy, providing knitters with a chance to pause, relax, and create a quick and colorful accessory in the midst of their daily routine. Designed to be knit in the round from the cuff upwards, the Fika Mitts feature a clever thumb gusset that is worked simultaneously with the hand for ease of construction. The mitts are crafted to fit more loosely around the wrist while providing a snug fit at the hand, ensuring comfort and style. When selecting your size, be sure to choose the one where the finished knuckle circumference is smaller than your actual knuckle circumference to achieve the perfect fit. Materials Needed
