It's Darn Cold Mitts
Introducing a delightful knitting pattern for fingerless mitts, inspired by my popular Walking to Hagrid’s Hut hat design! These versatile mitts are perfect for accessorizing any outfit while keeping your hands warm and cozy. Designed with simplicity in mind, these mitts feature a gorgeous tight braid cable that is not only one of my personal favorites but also incredibly easy to memorize. If you're a beginner looking to venture into the world of cabling, this project is a fantastic choice. With straightforward row repeats that quickly become intuitive, you can easily take this project on the go. It’s the perfect opportunity to try cabling without a cable needle if you haven't yet!
Sizes: Women’s Small/Medium, approximately 7.25” in diameter; Women’s Large, approximately 8.75” in diameter.
Needles: US 5/3.75 mm double-pointed needles (DPNs) or a long circular needle for the Magic Loop technique; US 6/4.0 mm DPNs or a long circular needle for the Magic Loop technique.
Yarn Options: You'll need 50g (or 80g if you prefer a slightly thicker mitt) of DK weight yarn. Any DK weight yarn will work beautifully, just ensure you're knitting to gauge!
Gauge (blocked): 22 stitches per 4” in stockinette stitch. Knitting to gauge is essential to achieve the perfect fit and feel for your fingerless mitts.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this knitting pattern is designed to help you expand your skills while creating a functional and stylish accessory. Dive into this project today and enjoy the satisfaction of making your own custom fingerless mitts!
