Kaiburr Fingerless Mitts Pattern

The Kaiburr Fingerless Mitts pattern is an enjoyable and straightforward knitting project that beautifully showcases self-striping yarn. With its innovative multi-directional knitting technique, these mitts are perfect for knitters looking to create functional yet stylish accessories. With a little bit of extra planning, you can customize your mitts by positioning your favorite stripe right on the center of the thumb, or you can use contrasting colors—like vibrant red and deep blue—to express both your light and dark sides.

Designed for flexibility, the hand of these fingerless mitts is worked from the fingers down, featuring a thumb gusset that is skillfully crafted side to side from stitches picked up on one side of the hand. This thumb gusset is then beautifully grafted to the edge of the other side, ensuring a seamless finish. Once the thumb gusset is completed, the cozy cuff is worked in the round, adding an extra layer of warmth and style.

Sizes: The Kaiburr mitts are available in two sizes, accommodating hand circumferences of 7 inches and 8 inches, with an approximate length of 6 inches and 7 inches from top to cuff when the edges are rolled. This makes them versatile enough to fit a range of hand sizes.

Yarn Requirements: For this pattern, you will need Must Stash Yarn Perfect Sock, which has an impressive yardage of 440 yards per 100 grams. This high-quality yarn is composed of 75% superwash Merino and 25% Nylon, providing both comfort and durability. A single skein or approximately 226 yards/207 meters of fingering weight yarn will suffice for this delightful project.

Needles: To knit the Kaiburr mitts, you will require Size 1 US (2.25 mm) needles, which are ideal for small circumference knitting and will give your project a neat and professional finish.

Gauge: The recommended gauge is 9 stitches and 12 rows per inch (2.5 cm) in stockinette stitch when knitted in the round. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for ensuring your mitts fit perfectly.

Whether you are an experienced knitter or just beginning your knitting journey, the Kaiburr Fingerless Mitts pattern offers a fun and creative way to express your knitting skills. Enjoy creating your own unique pair today!
