Gliding Birds Mitts
Experience the elegance of knitting with our Gliding Birds mitts pattern, reminiscent of a bird gracefully soaring through soft updrafts. This captivating design intricately weaves together delightful cables and eyelets, showcasing your knitting skills. The mitts are crafted from the bottom up, featuring both a tubular cast-on and an easy tubular bind-off, ensuring a polished finish. Top off the hand with an engaging swirling pattern that is not only visually striking but also easy to memorize, while the wrist boasts a beautifully crafted cable design that adds sophistication to your knitwear.
Yarn Requirements: You will need 170, 190, or 210 meters (or 186, 208, or 230 yards) of fingering weight yarn to complete this project. For our sample, we recommend using just one skein of Le Chat qui Tricote Féline, a luxurious blend of 100% Merino superwash yarn, which offers a delightful texture with 400 meters (440 yards) and 100 grams per skein. The colorway used in the sample is Amour, an enchanting hue that enhances the overall aesthetic of the mitts.
