Heart Cookie Mitts

Feeling hungry for a cozy project but out of sweet treats? Indulge in a delightful knitting experience with these charming Sweet Mitts Decorated with Heart Shaped Cookies! Inspired by motif #147 from my book, 200 Fair Isle Motifs: A Knitter’s Directory, this pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels.

If you need a last-minute gift that’s as sweet as it is functional, these darling mitts can be whipped up in a jiffy. The design features a simple afterthought thumb, allowing you to maintain your fair isle groove without interruption. Plus, you can flex your creativity by using yarn from your stash, making it a perfect project for eco-conscious knitters!

Finished Size: 7 3/4" in circumference and 7" tall, suitable for most average-sized hands.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 13 stitches x 13 rounds = 2x2" in the color-work pattern from the provided chart, utilizing larger needles for optimal results.
Yarn: For this project, I recommend using Stonehenge Fiber Mills Shepard’s Wool, a luxurious 100% wool, available in 3oz/250yd skeins; choose Hot Pink for the main color (MC) and Tan for the contrasting color (CC).
Yarn and Sizing Notes: While Shepard’s Wool is classified as worsted weight yarn, I’ve successfully used DK weight and even sport weight yarns, which yield slightly different sizing yet still accommodate an average-sized hand comfortably. You can easily adjust the size of your mitts by selecting larger or smaller needles, making this an adaptable project for various knitter preferences.

Embrace the joy of knitting and create a heartfelt gift with these adorable Sweet Mitts today! Happy knitting!
