Nicnevin

Introducing our beautifully crafted Nicnevin Mitts, inspired by the Scottish Goddess of Witches. According to Fife folklore, Nicnevin would snatch unfinished knitting projects on New Year’s Eve—so be sure to complete these delightful mitts in advance! These fingerless mitts showcase two exquisite cable designs that blend seamlessly into the rib at both the cuff and the top of the mitt. The strategically asymmetrical cable on the back of the hand is elegantly complemented by the thumb cable, which artfully splits to surround the thumb gusset before merging again at the mitt’s top.

These Nicnevin Mitts are designed to help you showcase those unique, one-of-a-kind yarn skeins to their fullest advantage. Crafted with a twisted rib, they offer remarkable stretch and comfort, ensuring a snug fit for most women and teens with ample negative ease. Whether you’re crafting a pair for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, you'll find that the construction allows you to easily customize the size by adding or removing extra ribbing from the palm.

The pattern includes comprehensive charts for the intricate cable designs as well as detailed written instructions, making it accessible for knitters of all levels. Whether you prefer to follow charts or written directions, you’ll find everything you need to successfully create these stunning mitts. Rest assured, the Nicnevin Mitts pattern has been thoroughly test edited and test knitted to ensure clarity and quality.

Embrace your creativity and tradition this New Year’s Eve while crafting these enchanting mitts—not only do they keep your hands warm and stylish, but they also celebrate the rich folklore of Scottish knitting. Download the Nicnevin Mitts pattern today and start your next project with confidence!
