Linnea Mitts

Linnea Mitts are a beautiful homage to the classic long evening gloves that were once an essential part of ladies’ formal wear. These elegant and feminine fingerless mitts highlight the wonderful interplay of various stitch patterns, textures, and yarn weights, making them a delightful addition to any wardrobe.

Crafted from the cuff up in the round, these mitts are designed for both style and functionality. The delicate lace cuffs, knit from luxurious silk mohair, provide warmth to your wrists while embracing the unpredictable nature of spring weather. The hand portion of the mitts is expertly knit using a sturdy yet soft sock yarn, featuring a charming slip-stitch pattern on the back, which adds a subtle artistic flair. With an open design at the top, the mitts allow your fingers to remain free for essential tasks, blending practicality with style.

The Linnea Mitts knitting pattern is versatile and accommodating, coming in three sizes to fit varying hand dimensions. The pattern is meticulously crafted with both metric and US terminology, ensuring that knitters of all levels can easily follow along. For your convenience, both written and charted instructions are provided for all stitch patterns, making it easy to create your own pair of stunning mitts.

To ensure your finished mitts turn out beautifully, the recommended gauge is 32 stitches × 45 rounds = 10 cm / 4” in stockinette on smaller needles, when blocked. This will help you achieve the perfect fit and texture, ensuring your Linnea Mitts are as lovely as they are functional.
