Hibernia Mitts

Hibernia, the enchanting name bestowed by the ancient Romans upon the island of Ireland, translates to the "land of winter." In homage to this rich heritage, the Hibernia Quartet presents a stunning collection of four DK-weight accessories, each brimming with intricate cables and ancient lore. At the heart of every pattern lies a beautiful interlocking cable that features a moss stitch center, celebrating the artistry of traditional Irish knitting.

Hibernia Mitts are designed as exquisite fingerless mitts, crafted in the round from the cuff up. An ornate cable adorns the back of the hand, flowing seamlessly from the cuff and integrating beautifully into the top ribbing. These chic mitts incorporate a gusseted, reverse-stockinette thumb that perfectly complements the plain reverse-stockinette palm, ensuring both comfort and style. Ideal for knitters seeking a quick project, these mitts come in two sizes and can be worked two-at-a-time for added efficiency.

This pattern is expertly written using both metric and US terminology to facilitate understanding for a diverse audience. Additionally, clear written and charted instructions are provided for all cable patterns, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels.

For successful completion, the gauge is crucial: aim for 21 stitches and 32 rows to achieve a measurement of 10 cm / 4" in cable pattern on larger needles, once blocked. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a beginner eager to learn, the Hibernia Mitts will transform your knitting experience.
