Homegrown Mitts
This unique knitting pattern, inspired by my home in Eastern Kentucky, captures the essence of simplicity and warmth that the region embodies. Designed for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern allows you to create beautifully fitted gloves using either the magic loop method or double-pointed needles (DPNs). The instructions guide you through the process seamlessly from the bottom up, and a convenient thumb hole can be added depending on which hand you are knitting for. This charming pattern will soon be featured in my upcoming eBook, "Lattice Country," where it will be accompanied by other delightful designs!
Gauge: The recommended gauge for this pattern is 20 stitches x 20 rounds, which equals 4 inches or 10 cm. These gloves offer a snug fit that not only ensures comfort but also showcases your knitting skills. Ideal for quick projects, this pattern is perfect for last-minute gifts, car knitting on the go, or simply relaxing with your yarn after a long day.
Materials Needed
- Yarn: I used Brown Sheep Yarn Lamb's Pride Worsted, a quality wooly yarn that adds both warmth and durability to your finished project.
- Needles: Use US size 7 (4.5 mm) DPNs or 32"-40" circular needles if you prefer the magic loop method.
- Extras: Don’t forget a cable needle or a spare DPN for those intricate stitches!
