Mustache Cuffs

Keep warm and look adorable with these charming little mitts, which are not only quick to knit but also a great first project for mastering intarsia techniques. Once you get the hang of crafting these delightful mitts, you’ll find yourself wanting to make them for everyone on your list—they're simply addictive!

This pattern requires just 60 yards of yarn for two mitts (crafted using Hikoo Kenzie 1000) and an additional 10 yards of mustache color (utilizing Hikoo Kenzie 1001). Available in various sizes: XS (perfect for ages 4-8), S (ideal for small teens, tweens, or adults), and M/L (designed for medium to large adult hands).

One of the best aspects of this pattern is its versatility; you can achieve the perfect gauge using a range of yarn weights—from sport and DK to a light worsted—so don’t hesitate to dig into your stash! This makes it a perfect project for using up leftover yarn while still creating something truly special.

Inspired by my children's love for all things mustache-related, I designed these mitts after my son Junior (age 6) begged for them. He loved my prototype so much that he even slept with it on his hand! (Just for the record, it wasn’t the pink version that he preferred.)

With their playful design and cozy fit, these mitts are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. Enjoy the process of knitting and stay warm with your new creations—perfect for gifting or even keeping all to yourself!
