Natvanter arthritis

Discover the cozy comfort of Natvanter, the Danish term for "night mittens." These warm knitted mittens are designed without a thumb, making them perfect for use as sleeping mittens, especially for individuals with arthritic hands. Ideal for chilly nights or relaxing at home, Natvanter provide both warmth and ease of movement.

This knitting pattern is crafted for yarn boasting a gauge of 27 stitches per 10 centimeters, featuring a delightful textured pattern. The yarn required has approximately 120 meters per 50 grams, and we recommend using merino extrafine 120 from Hjertegarn for its soft, luxurious feel.

The Natvanter pattern includes detailed instructions for four sizes: S, M, L, and XL, catering to various hand sizes. The mittens' circumferences measure 23 (25, 27, 29) centimeters and lengths vary at 25 (26, 28, 29) centimeters to ensure the perfect fit for everyone.

This project is an excellent choice for knitters who are comfortable with basic techniques such as knit, purl, increases, and decreases, all worked in the round. The pattern is straightforward and easy to follow, making it suitable for knitters with some experience and familiarity with written instructions.

By neatly weaving in your yarn ends, you can create two-sided mittens that showcase your attention to detail and craftsmanship—perfect for gifting or keeping for yourself!

Before you start your knitting adventure, gather the necessary materials: your favorite yarn, appropriate knitting needles, and stitch markers. Please note that this pattern focuses solely on the mittens' creation and does not include finished items, yarn, or additional materials.
