Hill Head Mitts

Hand knit a stunning pair of cosy Fair Isle mitts with this easy-to-follow mitten knitting pattern. This fingerless design is perfect for keeping your hands warm on those chilly days while allowing your fingers the freedom to manage your phone, purse, coat buttons, and dog leads effortlessly. Knitted seamlessly in the round, the cuff features a stylish rib design, and the eye-catching Fair Isle pattern repeats are conveniently worked from a detailed colour knitting chart.

The thumb of the mitts incorporates basic directional increases, with clear instructions provided, to create a comfortable gusset for enhanced wearability. When knitted to the specified tension outlined in the pattern, these delightful mitts fit an average-sized adult female hand, making them a thoughtful gift or a treat for yourself.

This pattern utilizes Rowan Felted Tweed DK yarn, but it’s versatile enough to serve as a fantastic 4ply stash buster, allowing you to experiment with your yarn collection. This adorable pattern is an ideal project for knitters looking to practice their two-color stranded colorwork techniques in the round. It offers a rewarding challenge for beginners while simultaneously providing a relaxing knit for more advanced artisans, making it suitable for all skill levels.

As part of a charming mini accessories collection, this pattern is inspired by the beautiful colors and treasures found at Hill Head, my favorite coastal dog walk. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting, these Fair Isle mitts will not only keep your hands warm but also add a touch of elegance to your winter wardrobe.
