Happy Halloween (Kids)
Happy Halloween (Kids) Mittens are the perfect festive accessory for your little ones this Halloween season! With three creative chart options available, you can choose your favorite design or knit all three pairs to gift to friends or siblings. These charming mittens will keep tiny hands warm while adding a touch of Halloween spirit to their outfits!
Materials: To get started on your mittens, you'll need a set of US Size 1 (2.25 mm) and Size 1 ½ (2.5 mm) double-pointed needles (dpns) or circular needles if you prefer the Magic Loop method. Make sure to have a tapestry needle on hand for weaving in ends. A sport weight yarn, such as Sandnes Garn Tove (175 yards / 50 grams), works perfectly for this project. You'll need approximately 197 to 205 yards (56-60 grams) of yarn in total.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 7.5 stitches and 7.5 rows per inch in the stranded pattern while knitting in the round for best results.
Notes: 1. Size: Each mitten is designed with 50 stitches and 57 rows (excluding ribbing) for a snug fit. With the recommended yarn and needles, the finished mittens will measure approximately 10 cm from the thumb opening to the tip, making them suitable for children aged 4-6 years. You can easily adjust the size by opting for thicker or thinner yarn and needles, ensuring a perfect fit for any child.
2. Stranded Colorwork: When knitting the stranded pattern, follow the charts from right to left. Remember to catch longer floats using your preferred method to maintain an even tension and to keep the design looking polished.
3. Some design elements can be added using the duplicate stitch technique after you've completed the knitting. This gives you the flexibility to personalize each pair of mittens with unique embellishments!
