Luray Mitts

Introducing the Luray Caverns Unisex Mitts, a beautifully designed knitting pattern inspired by the stunning cave formations of stalactites and stalagmites found in the Shenandoah Valley. These unique mitts capture the beauty of the natural world through a stitch pattern that I creatively “unvented,” allowing you to experience cave-like textures at your fingertips.

The Luray Mitts are crafted entirely in the round, making the knitting process straightforward and enjoyable. Both mitts are worked identically, which not only simplifies the knitting experience but also ensures a comfortable fit for the wearer. Despite the intricate, elaborate texture created by the Luray Stitch, this pattern remains beginner-friendly and easy to follow. Thanks to the ribbed nature of the stitch, the sizing is generous, providing flexibility and comfort in every wear.

Gauge is essential for achieving the perfect fit. For the Luray Stitch, the gauge when unstretched is 28 stitches and 32 rounds equal to 10 cm or 4 inches. When stretched to its fullest, it measures 18 stitches and 40 rounds for the same 10 cm or 4 inches. This ensures your mitts will maintain their shape, offering practicality and style.

The Luray Caverns Unisex Mitts come in three adult sizes: Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L), stretching comfortably to fit hands measuring 6 (15 cm), 7 (18 cm), or 8 inches (20.5 cm) in circumference. The finished measurements are as follows: 4 (10 cm), 5 (12.5 cm), and 6 inches (15 cm) when unstretched. Perfect for various hand sizes, these mitts make a delightful gift for friends or family—or an excellent treat for yourself.
