Mellor Avenue Fingerless Mitts
Introducing the Mellor Avenue Fingerless Mitts, a stylish and functional accessory perfect for those chilly days. These mitts feature a beautiful ribbed cable pattern that can be folded over for extra warmth or pulled up for versatility. Named after Mellor Avenue, the street where the beloved Cloverhill Yarn Shop is located in Catonsville, Maryland, this pattern is crafted with love by Tempting Ewe Yarns, the talented dyer behind this design.
In addition to the fingerless mitts, there is also a matching hat and fingerless cowl pattern available, making it easy to create a complete and coordinated set. To knit the full ensemble, you will need two full skeins of Tempting Ewe Yarns Ewe So Perfect DK, which is composed of 75% Superwash Merino and 25% Nylon, providing both softness and durability. The yarn boasts a generous length of 246 yards per 100g, and our sample was beautifully knit using the rich Rusty Pipes colorway, utilizing approximately 150 yards.
The finished size of the Mellor Avenue Fingerless Mitts is 8 inches around the palm, ensuring a comfortable fit for most adults. You’ll need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or two circular needles in size 5 US (3.75 mm), or another size to obtain the correct gauge for your project. Achieve a gauge of 20 stitches and 24 rows per 4 inches in blocked stockinette while knitting in the round, which will help ensure your mitts have a perfect fit.
Whether you’re new to knitting or a seasoned pro, the Mellor Avenue Fingerless Mitts pattern offers an enjoyable project that combines functionality, style, and cozy warmth. Perfect for gifting or treating yourself, these mitts are an excellent addition to your winter wardrobe. So grab your needles and get ready to knit your new favorite accessory!
