Hummel Doddies

Discover the warmth and charm of Hummel Doddies, the Doric term for fingerless gloves or mittens, expertly designed to keep your hands and wrists cozy even amidst the brisk year-round North Sea winds of the stunning Aberdeenshire coast. These delightful Hummel Doddies are crafted using the circular magic loop technique, which allows for seamless knitting in the round. If you're feeling creative, you can incorporate multiple colors with jogless stripes for a smooth transition between hues. Both mittens are worked identically, allowing you the option to switch colors for a unique look on each mitten.

For this cozy knitting project, you'll need 75 g of DK yarn. The sample showcases the elegance of Doulton Border Leicester DK yarn, incorporating two 25g mini skeins of C1 Doulton Blue (110 m / 170 yards) and one 25g mini skein of C2 Appleton Wiske (55m / 85 yards). Don’t forget to gather other essential materials such as stitch markers, a tapestry needle, and some waste yarn for holding stitches, ensuring that your knitting process goes as smoothly as possible.

The finished mittens come in three sizes to accommodate a variety of hand measurements: Small (S) mittens measure 14 cm / 5 1/2” long and 8 cm / 3 1/4” across the palm, Medium (M) mittens measure 17 cm / 6 3/4” long and 9 cm / 3 1/2” across the palm, and Large (L) mittens measure 19 cm / 7 1/2” long and 10 cm / 4” across the palm. Whether you're crafting a pair for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, these Hummel Doddies will provide both warmth and style, making them a must-have accessory for any knitting enthusiast.
