Difficulty Level and Skills Needed: This knitting pattern is classified as advanced, requiring skills in knitting in the round and mastering short rows. It’s suited for knitters who want to challenge themselves and expand their technique repertoire.
Yarn Used: The mittens are designed using hand-dyed yarn by Softrainbow Fecske in the main color (MC) and Barka Esti Mese for the contrast color (CC), both made from 100% extra fine merino wool. Each skein contains 170 meters per 50 grams, providing warmth and softness.
Yarn Suggestions: For this pattern, you can choose fingering, sport, or DK weight yarn. We recommend solid, semisolid, or random colored yarns, as well as those with short or long color changes. Please avoid middle length color changes, as they may disrupt the short row design and affect the overall look of the mittens.
A suggested substitute yarn is available below to help you achieve the perfect look for your project.
Gauge Information: To ensure a proper fit, aim for a gauge of 24 stitches x 34 rounds in a 4x4” [10 x 10 cm] square using stockinette stitch (St st), with a larger needle, knitted in the round, and after washing and blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for the mittens to maintain their intended shape and warmth.
With this detailed pattern, you'll create stunning mittens that not only keep your hands warm but also showcase your knitting skills. Dive into your next knitting project with the Hug of the Ocean mittens pattern and enjoy a cozy accessory that reflects your creativity!
