Oaktober Mitts
Finished Measurements
This beautiful pattern yields a pair of mitts with a medium size, featuring a palm circumference of 7.75” (20 cm) and a wrist circumference of 6.5” (16.5 cm). Each mitt measures approximately 8.5” (22 cm) in length. Please note that all measurements are taken after blocking to ensure a perfect fit.
Yarn
For this project, we recommend using Julie Asselin Mélange N.1 DK yarn, which is a luxurious blend of 75% Merino wool and 25% Yak fiber. This yarn is soft, warm, and ideal for creating cozy accessories. Each skein contains approximately 118 meters (130 yards) and weighs 56 grams, making it perfect for this DK weight pattern.
The colorways used are:
- MC (Main Color - Natural): Approximately 99 meters (108 yards) and 46 grams used.
- CC1 (Contrast Color - Blé): Approximately 49 meters (54 yards) and 22 grams used.
Needles
To achieve the perfect stitch definition and tension, a set of US 2 (2.75 mm), US 2.5 (3 mm), and US 3 (3.25 mm) double-pointed needles is required. Alternatively, you may use sizes that allow you to obtain the specified gauge for your yarn.
Gauge
The gauge for this pattern is 26 stitches and 32 rounds per 4 inches (10 cm) when working in circular colorwork on the largest needles after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for ensuring your mitts turn out the right size and fit comfortably.
Notions
Don’t forget to gather your essential notions! You’ll need a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds while knitting.
