Frank

Now available for the same price on both Ravelry and KnitPicks.com!

Introducing Frank, a stunning pair of architecturally inspired mittens that seamlessly blend style and functionality. Featuring a unique stranded colorwork design, these mittens are a perfect accessory for chilly days. The elegant Latvian braid at the cuff not only adds a decorative touch but also enhances the snug yet flexible fit of the mittens, while the gusseted thumb provides added comfort and mobility. Made from fingering weight wool, Frank mittens may appear deceptively thin, but the dense stranding effectively shields your hands from the cold, making them suitable for winter adventures.

Skills Required:
To create these beautiful mittens, you’ll need to master several knitting techniques, including knitting in the round, working with two colors, and creating a Latvian braid. You'll also learn to read a chart, increase stitches, perform a backward-loop cast-on, decrease stitches, and finish with the Kitchener stitch for a smooth seam.

Finished Measurements:
- Circumference: 8"
- Length: 10.5"
- Thumb Top Length: 2.25"

Notions Needed:
To complete the Frank mittens, be sure to have handy 2 stitch markers, a stitch holder or waste yarn, and a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends.

A perfect project for intermediate knitters looking to enhance their skills or for adventurous beginners eager to try something new, the Frank mittens are not only practical but also stylish. Download your pattern today and bring a touch of elegance to your winter wardrobe!
