Frost Boils Fingerless Mitts
About this Design: Discover the beauty of Sorted Circles, also known as “Frost Boils,” which are fascinating formations that occur during the natural process of soil heaving influenced by the freezing and thawing cycles. This stunning knitting pattern captures the essence of these unique circles, where larger particulates are pushed more frequently to the surface and shift outward, creating visually striking borders of stones surrounding a central area of finer materials. Inspired by nature, this design gives you the perfect opportunity to bring the beauty of sorted circles into your knitting projects. The finished pieces are sure to be a standout addition to your collection.
If you are eager to create the complete set, including the matching accessories, ensure you have a second skein of the main color (MC) yarn and color contrast 1 (CC1) yarn. Once you complete the Frost Boils Cowl and the Frost Boils Boot Cuffs, you will likely find there is still enough leftover yarn in CC2, CC3, and CC4 to craft these stylish and cozy fingerless mitts. This ensures a cohesive look across your entire ensemble while allowing you to utilize every last bit of your beautiful yarn.
Yarn Requirements: You will need approximately 200 (235, 275) yards or 183 (215, 251) meters of merino or wool sport weight yarn that knits up to a gauge of 5.5 stitches per inch. For a wonderfully textured finish, choosing the right type of yarn is essential to achieving the perfect look and feel for your mitts.
Sample Shown In: This design is showcased using Bare Naked Wools ‘Confection Sport’ (375 yards/343 meters; 100% Corriedale wool), which offers the ideal blend of softness and durability.

Bring your creative vision to life as you play with this delightful palette inspired by favorite sweet treats!
