Wrap your hands in warmth and style with our stunning stranded colorwork mitts, adorned with intricate golden oak leaves and acorns, making them perfect for a leisurely walk in the crisp autumn sun. These beautiful mitts not only offer a cozy fit but are also a delightful showcase of your knitting skills!

Yarn

For this pattern, you'll need three colors of Lichen and Lace Rustic Heather Sport yarn (100% wool, 215 yds / 197 m per 56g skein). Here are the required quantities for each color:

Yarn Color A: 100 (113) yds / 92 (103) m in rich Coal (1 skein) for a deep, warm base.

Yarn Color B: 17 (19) yds / 15 (17) m in soft Birch (1 skein) to add a touch of lightness.

Yarn Color C: 70 (80) yds / 64 (73) m in sunny Pollen (1 skein) to bring clarity and brightness to your project. If you're exploring substitutions, any sport weight yarn will work beautifully.

Gauge

To ensure your mitts fit perfectly, aim for a gauge of 28 stitches and 38 rounds = 4” / 10 cm in stranded colorwork using larger needles.

Needles

You'll need small-circumference needles, which can be either double-pointed needles (DPNs), two circulars, or the magic loop method, in the size necessary to achieve gauge for your chosen size. We suggest starting with US size 2.5 / 3 mm needles. Additionally, have another set of small-circumference needles that are 0.5 mm smaller than your gauge-size needles on hand (suggested size: US size 1.5 / 2.5 mm) for optimal results.

Finished Dimensions

These gorgeous mitts will fit a hand circumference of 7.5 (8.5)” / 18.5 (21.5) cm and measure 7.5” / 18.5 cm in length, making them a perfect accessory as you embrace the spirit of the season. Whether you're sipping apple cider or raking leaves, these mitts will keep you stylishly cozy!
