Gallica

Discover the cozy charm of the Gallica mittens, which feature a stunning all-over fair isle motif perfect for any knitting enthusiast. These mittens can be crafted in vibrant alternating shades for a striking visual effect or in a single main color with a contrasting background for a more subtle look. As a beginner-friendly project, the Gallica mittens serve as a fantastic introduction to various mitten knitting techniques.

The mittens are expertly knitted in the round, starting with a stylish cuff that incorporates a unique striped corrugated ribbing. The main body of the mitten showcases standard stranded color work, allowing only two colors per round and a maximum of five stitches in any single color at a time, making it manageable yet visually captivating.

This pattern offers three distinct mitten sizes, each accompanied by its own detailed chart, ensuring personalized fits for everyone. All charts are to be read from right to left on every round, and, as an added bonus, there are three thumb charts included alongside the main mitten charts to guide you seamlessly through the knitting process.

The Gallica mittens pattern includes comprehensive instructions for all three sizes, along with clear written guidance and full-color charts. Plus, you’ll find a detailed schematic diagram and a sizing chart to ensure your knitting experience is smooth and enjoyable.
