In Stitches mitts

Introducing the "In Stitches" fingerless mitts pattern—an easy yet incredibly satisfying project perfect for knitters of all skill levels, especially those eager to explore the world of colorwork! These charming mitts are designed using a simple slipped stitch technique, allowing you to create stunning color combinations with minimal effort. You can easily knit these mitts in the round by utilizing either double-pointed needles (dpns) or the magic loop method, making them versatile for any knitter.

The colorwork pattern featured in "In Stitches" is not only visually appealing but also easy to learn, making it the ideal choice for beginners who want to try their hand at colorwork for the first time. With the convenience of working with just one color per round, you can focus on mastering the technique without feeling overwhelmed.

One of the standout features of this pattern is the afterthought thumb, which adds functionality while maintaining a clean design. A helpful link to a detailed tutorial is included in the pattern, guiding you through the process step by step.

This pattern is also a fantastic way to use up small amounts of various DK or sport weight yarn from your stash. Whether you prefer a single contrast color or wish to get creative with two, three, or even six different colors, the choice is entirely yours! The mix-and-match approach not only makes these mitts uniquely yours but also adds a delightful touch to your knitting repertoire.

For sizing, simply measure around the widest part of your hand—excluding the thumb—and add 1.25cm (0.5”) for positive ease. The finished mitts have a length of 17cm (6.75”). If you desire a longer length, you can easily incorporate an additional colorwork section, but keep in mind that this will affect your yardage requirements.
