Lovers' Mitts
**Cozy Mittens for Lovebirds: Knit a Matched Set with an Extra Hand-Holding Mitten**
Celebrate Valentine's Day in style by creating these delightful knit mittens! This pattern features two matching mitten sets plus an innovative fifth mitten designed for couples to hold hands comfortably. Crafted in a charming Fair Isle pattern, these cozy mitts are perfect for keeping your loved ones warm during chilly outings.
Each pair of mittens is worked in the round, expertly alternating between a simple Fair Isle design and plain bands. This makes the pattern an excellent choice for novice knitters looking to dive into the world of Fair Isle knitting or for experienced knitters who seek a relaxing project. The techniques utilized in this pattern include grafting for seamless finishes or, alternatively, a three-needle bind-off for a tidy edge. If you prefer, you can simply cast off and sew up the tops of the mitts—a perfect option for those who want to keep it simple!
These mittens are designed to fit small to medium [medium to large, two clasped] adult hands. The finished measurements are as follows: a width of 19[22: 29]cm (7½[8½: 11½] inches) around the hand above the thumb, and a length from the bottom edge of the cuff to the top of the mitt of 24[27.5: 22]cm (9¼[11: 9¼] inches). Ideal for gifting or keeping for yourself, these mittens will surely warm your heart!
