Kananaskis Fingerless Mitts

Introducing the Kaninaskis Fingerless Mitts, a delightful knitting pattern that combines style and warmth with a beautifully mirrored cable detail. Designed with ribbing around the palm, these mitts ensure a snug and cozy fit, making them perfect for chilly days. Originally knit for Rhinebeck 2018, these fingerless mitts were created to match the elegant Nakiska Cardigan, adding a touch of sophisticated cohesion to your winter wardrobe. To complete the look, there's also a matching hat and cowl, making it easy to achieve a pulled-together ensemble for any occasion.

Finished Size: The mitts measure 5 inches in the cuff and hand when unstretched, with the ability to stretch up to 8 inches for a comfortable fit.

Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Dragonfly Fibers Traveller, which is made from 100% Merino wool. This exquisite yarn comes in a generous 280 yards per 4 oz skein, and the sample was knit using the vibrant Dragonberry colorway, utilizing only 140 yards for the complete pair of mitts.

Needles: You will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or your preferred method for knitting in the round. We recommend a size 5 US (3.75 mm) or the needle size needed to achieve the gauge required for this pattern.

Gauge: The ideal gauge for these mitts is 20 stitches and 28 rows in a blocked stockinette stitch over a 4-inch swatch knitted in the round. This ensures your project will turn out just right.

Whether you're looking for a stylish accessory for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a loved one, the Kaninaskis Fingerless Mitts are a must-knit for any knitting enthusiast. Embrace your creativity and add these cozy accessories to your knitting repertoire today!
