Lippo Mitts

The Lippo Mitts are the perfect knitting pattern for those looking to create a stylish accessory that pairs beautifully with the Lippo Hat. These versatile mitts are an ideal addition to your wardrobe for the transformation season, whether you’re transitioning into winter or welcoming the first signs of spring. Not only do they keep your wrists and palms toasty on chilly winter days, but they also provide the dexterity you need for various activities like knitting, texting, or working on your computer.

Designed to fit the average woman's hand, these mitts feature a stretchy ribbing that accommodates most sizes. They measure approximately 6 inches (15 cm) in circumference around the palm just above the thumb when unstretched, comfortably stretching up to 8-9 inches (20-23 cm). This flexibility means you can create customized fits by simply adjusting your needle size or by changing the yarn weight according to your preference. Additionally, the length of the mitts can be tailored by adding or omitting rounds in the pattern, making them truly your own.

Skill Level: The Lippo Mitts are suitable for adventurous beginners and intermediate knitters alike. This pattern involves knitting in the round and utilizes a long-tail cast on, along with basic knit and purl stitches, eyelets, and simple decreases, making it a great project for honing your skills.

Yarn Recommendation: To create your Lippo Mitts, you’ll need 50-70 grams of any DK to worsted weight yarn that meets the gauge. For extra warmth, consider opting for a wool blend. This yarn choice will not only enhance the insulation of your mitts but also add a nice texture and durability.

Whether you’re making these mitts for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Lippo Mitts pattern is a delightful way to combine function and fashion. Grab your needles and get started on this cozy project today!
