Maritime Mitts

In the beautiful state of Maine, mittens are a necessity even in the summer months! Our delightful "Mitts Ahoy!" pattern is perfect for those breezy days and enchanting evening sails. Featuring charming nautical stripes paired with stranded colorwork anchors, these mitts evoke the spirit of the sea. The design keeps things simple with an easy afterthought thumb, making it an accessible project for knitters of all levels.

Offering a versatile one-size-fits-all option, you can easily adjust for larger or smaller hands by changing your needle size or selecting thicker or thinner yarn. These mitts will comfortably fit about 7½ inches in circumference and stand 6¾ inches tall, ensuring a snug yet flexible fit for any wearer.

For this project, I highly recommend using Quince & Co Lark, a high-quality worsted weight yarn that will provide both durability and warmth. Alternatively, Cascade 220 Worsted is an excellent substitute that will yield beautiful results as well. You'll need approximately 109 yards (100 meters) of the main color (MC) and 55 yards (50 meters) of the contrasting color (CC) to complete your mitts.

Whether you’re looking to keep your hands warm during a summer sail or simply want a stylish accessory for everyday use, "Mitts Ahoy!" is the perfect choice. Dive into this fun knitting adventure today, and enjoy crafting these nautical-themed mitts that are sure to capture the hearts of fellow knitters and sea enthusiasts alike!
