Gert's Mittens

Welcome to a delightful knitting project that combines tradition with contemporary flair! I designed and knitted these stunning mittens specifically for a dear friend in Holland. Featuring a beautiful traditional two-color Fair Isle technique, these mittens showcase a fresh palette of modern colors. My aim was to reinterpret a classic theme, presenting it in a vibrant new way that knits beautifully into your collection.

At first glance, the intricate pattern may appear complex, but fear not! Upon closer examination of the chart, you'll discover that only one section truly requires your utmost focus. This unique blend of challenge and creativity makes this pattern an enjoyable experience for knitters of all skill levels.

The mittens are crafted in a versatile unisex size, measuring approximately 8” around with a width of 4” across the back of the hand. If you desire a longer fit, directions for extending the length of the mittens and the thumb are included in the instructions, ensuring that your handmade item is perfectly tailored to your needs or those of a loved one.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a beginner, these mittens will provide an engaging and satisfying project. Enjoy the process, and take pride in creating a beautiful piece that combines tradition with your personal touch!

Happy knitting!
