Oblique Mitts

Introducing our beautifully designed fingerless mitts, featuring a charming ribbed pattern that gracefully moves diagonally across the gloves, adding a subtle yet stylish touch to your accessories collection. These fingerless mitts are perfect for keeping your hands warm while allowing you the freedom to use your fingers, making them ideal for activities like texting or crafting.

These delightful fingerless mitts are knitted from the bottom cuff up and are constructed entirely in the round, ensuring a seamless finish. With a focus on special knitting skills, you will enhance your crafting abilities through this project.

**Special skills required:**

• Knitting in the round
• Increasing stitches
• Working with cable stitches

**Needles:**

You'll need US 6 (4 mm) double-pointed needles—a set of 4 is recommended for ease. A cable needle will also be required, although you may find it convenient to manipulate the stitches without it since all cable stitches in this pattern are just 1/1 stitch.

For the best results, consider using a stitch marker and a stitch counter, although these are optional.

**Gauge:**

To achieve the correct fit, aim for a gauge of 11 stitches and 14 rows per 2 inches (5 cm) in stockinette stitch using US 6 needles.

**Yarn:**

This pattern is designed for DK weight yarn but can also be worked successfully in worsted weight, giving you flexibility in your choice of materials. Our featured yarn for this pattern is Cleckheaton Australian Superfine Merino in the luxurious Truffle colorway, which enhances the overall appearance of your finished mitts.

**Size:**

This pattern is designed for adults, with approximate finished measurements of 7 inches (17.8 cm) in length and a flat width of 2.5 inches (6.4 cm). Please note that the mitt will be slightly larger in the thumb gusset area. The sample used for these measurements was blocked, so unblocked mitts may appear smaller.

Our comprehensive pattern includes both charted and written instructions, making it accessible to knitters of all skill levels. Dive into this creative project and enjoy the satisfaction of making a functional and fashionable accessory. Whether you're knitting for yourself or gifting to a friend, these fingerless mitts are sure to become a beloved staple in your wardrobe!
