Parallel Turn Mittens & Mitts
When I was a child at ski school, mastering the art of parallel turns signified the moment skiing transformed into pure joy. The thrill of increased self-confidence, the rush of higher speeds, and the refreshing wind rushing past my face became unforgettable experiences. The design of these fashionable Parallel Turn Mittens draws inspiration from those cherished memories of pristine white slopes beneath a brilliant blue sky, showcasing the elegant traces that skiers and snowboarders leave behind in fresh powder snow.
Introducing our Parallel Turn Mittens, which feature three stylish cables gracefully winding down the back of the hand. The thoughtful increases for the thumb are crafted to follow the natural contours of your hand, ensuring an exceptionally comfortable fit for all-day wear. Plus, for those warmer days or a slightly different style, we provide easy-to-follow instructions for creating a fingerless version of the mittens.
Skills Required: This pattern is perfect for knitters who can confidently execute knitting and purling in the round, increasing and decreasing stitches effectively, cabling over four stitches, and mastering the art of grafting live stitches with the Kitchener stitch technique. While a tubular cast-on is highly recommended for a polished finish, you may choose to substitute with another cast-on method that you prefer. The pattern is designed for user-friendliness, featuring easy-to-follow charts illustrating every round, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Separate charts are provided for both left and right hands in each size, ensuring that your mittens have a perfect fit.
Get ready to create these stunning mittens that are not only functional but also bring a touch of elegance and warmth to your winter wardrobe. Whether you're hitting the slopes or just want to showcase your knitting skills, our Parallel Turn Mittens pattern is a wonderful addition to your collection. Start your knitting adventure today!
