Inverse Mitts
These vibrant colorwork gloves are the ideal accessory for both casual and evening outerwear, elevating any outfit with their unique design. Thanks to the intricate nature of the colorwork, the palms of these gloves feature double insulation, providing extra warmth compared to standard colorwork patterns. Experience a cozy fit that combines style and functionality!
This captivating pattern features an arrangement of inverted circles, resulting in a seamless colorwork mitt that boasts an innovative afterthought thumb. Please note that this pattern is tailored specifically for women’s sizes and is designed for palm circumferences of 8 inches or 9 inches, ensuring a snug fit. The well-crafted cuff is originally written to be 2.25 inches long, but you will have sufficient yarn left over to modify the length to your preference!
Sizing: Palm Circumference: 8 (9) inches / 20.5 (23) cm; Finished Length: 7 (7.5) inches / 18 (19) cm. This information is crucial for choosing the perfect fit and ensuring your finished mitts are as comfortable as they are beautiful.
For this project, you will need one skein of Sporty Sheep in each of the two contrasting colors. Rest assured, you won’t need to use the entire skein for either color, making this an economical choice for your knitting supplies!
Color Choices: Main Color (MC): Blue Fairy (requires 95-120 yds); Contrast Color (CC): Natural (requires 40-50 yds). This delightful color combination will add a playful touch to your knitted accessories!
While this pattern is designed for use with a circular needle, these stylish mitts can also be easily crafted using double-pointed needles (DPNs). This flexibility allows for a more personalized knitting experience, accommodating various preferences!
Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, this fun and engaging colorwork mitt pattern will not only hone your skills but also result in stunning handmade gloves that make a perfect gift or a treat for yourself. Dive into this creative project and enjoy the satisfaction of crafting your own insulated colorwork mitts!
