Pointer Mitts and Cap or Beret
Introducing an enchanting mitt and hat set meticulously designed for the {Among Friends} Yarn Club in collaboration with Sincere Sheep and Knitted Wit. This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to create delightful accessories that stand out in any wardrobe!
The set features a unique and charming loop stitch that resembles a cable stitch but offers a distinctly different texture and aesthetic. The graduated columns of loop stitch on the mitts beautifully echo the shape of your pointing fingers, creating a stunning visual effect. Choose between a cap or a sophisticated beret, both of which showcase a sideways knit band adorned with the same captivating loop stitches. The body of the hat is seamlessly picked up along the edge of the band, ensuring a polished finish.
This pattern requires approximately 330 yards (4 oz / 114 g) of DK weight yarn. For my project, I used the exquisite Knitted Wit DK, which is composed of 85% Polwarth Wool and 15% Tussah Silk. The estimated yarn requirements are about 50 g for the mitts and 62 g for the hat. To achieve the perfect fit, ensure a gauge of 6 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch for the mitts and 5 stitches per inch for the hat. I utilized a US size 3 needle for the mitts and a size 5 needle for the hat.
This pattern includes both detailed charts and line-by-line instructions for the intricate loop stitch detail, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you’re looking to enhance your collections of handmade accessories or need a thoughtful gift, this mitt and hat set is sure to impress!
