Millstream Mitts

Introducing our delightful stranded colorwork mitts, designed for both novice and experienced knitters looking to enhance their skills with seamless construction and engaging techniques. These quick-to-knit mitts serve as the perfect introduction to knitting with two colors, allowing you to explore the beautiful art of colorwork while creating a functional and stylish accessory.

Notes: You only need one skein of the main color and one skein of the contrast color to complete both the mitts and the matching hat. These mitts are worked in the round up to the thumb opening, which is then crafted back and forth in rows for a seamless fit. After finishing the thumb opening, stitches are picked up around the thumb to complete the design, ensuring a polished and professional look.

Skills Required: Be sure to have a grasp on the basic knitting skills: cast on, bind off, knit, purl, stranded colorwork, and knitting through the back loop. Additionally, comfort with knitting in the round using double-pointed needles is essential for this project.

Finished Measurements: Designed with a comfortable hand circumference of 7.5 inches (19 cm) and an overall length of 8.75 inches (22.5 cm), these mitts promise to keep your hands warm and stylish in any chilly weather.
