Mishima

Introducing Mishima, a pair of stylish and cozy fingerless mitts designed to keep your hands warm while allowing for free movement of your fingers. These modern mitts feature a distinctive exposed seam in a contrasting color, adding a touch of uniqueness to your accessory collection.

The Mishima mitts are crafted by knitting sideways, giving them a contemporary shape that wonderfully fits most hand sizes. The construction method involves joining the mitts just inside the elegant colored edge, ensuring a clean and polished finish. For the main body of the mitts, we use Rowan Cocoon yarn, which is known for its incredible softness and luxurious feel. The contrasting edging is created by holding Rowan All Seasons Cotton double, introducing a vibrant burst of color and varying texture that beautifully enhances the overall design.

Achieving the correct row tension and gauge is essential when knitting these fingerless mitts, especially since they are made sideways. Thankfully, the design is quite loose and stretchy to accommodate most hand sizes comfortably. If you prefer a larger fit, simply add a couple of rows on either side of the thumb hole for a more tailored look.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, the Mishima mitts are a perfect project to showcase your skills. They make excellent gifts for friends and family or a cozy treat for yourself! Enjoy the process of creating these chic and practical mitts that combine warmth with a modern flair. Download our free pattern today and start your knitting journey!
