Pale moon mitts

Keep your hands warm and stylish while allowing your fingers the freedom to move with these fashionable fingerless mitts. Perfect for all knitting enthusiasts, these mitts are designed for confident beginners and upwards. The pattern features mosaic knitting techniques that are easier to grasp than traditional stranded knitting, making it an ideal project for those looking to expand their skills. The instructions come with both written and chart formats, ensuring you can follow along with ease!

The recommended cast-on method is the Italian tubular cast-on, which gives your mitts a professional finish, and the bind-off is the tubular sewn bind-off, complete with a photo tutorial to guide you step-by-step. However, if you prefer, you are welcome to use any simple cast-on and bind-off method of your choice. This flexibility allows you to tailor the project to your knitting style!

Sharing your finished projects is also a fun part of the knitting community—show off your creations on Instagram using the hashtags #helenkennedydesigns, #mommanoggin, #moonlightyarns, and #palemoonmittshkd to connect with other crafters!

To create these mitts, you will need just 25 grams of each color of sock-weight yarn. I personally crafted mine in Madelinetosh Sock, but feel free to explore any standard sock yarn that inspires you. This simple yet elegant pattern is a fantastic way to use up yarn scraps while creating a functional accessory that’s perfect for any season.
