Pop of Cherries Mitts

Discover the delightful Pop of Cherries mitts pattern, designed for both the novice and the seasoned knitter looking to explore the world of colourwork. This engaging pattern features a gauge of 22 stitches by 30 rows over a 4-inch/10cm square in stockinette stitch, ensuring an impeccable fit for your medium-sized mitts.

This unique pattern employs two vibrant colours of yarn, requiring two full balls for each set of mitts. If you're dreaming of crafting both the fingerless and the full mitts, simply double the yardage amounts provided. The Pop of Cherries mitts are not only a fun knitting project but also make for a charming gift for family and friends.

Designed as an easy introduction to colourwork knitting, the Pop of Cherries pattern strikes the perfect balance: intricate enough to engage a skilled knitter while remaining accessible for beginners venturing into colourwork for the first time. It was initially crafted for a swap partner, inspired by her affectionate play on words, which adds a personal touch to this lovely design. After knitting a pair for myself, I was thrilled to see how many admirers approached me for a copy of the pattern!

This version has been slightly modified from the original that was sent to my swap partner, ensuring her pair remains truly one-of-a-kind. As a bonus, there's a stylish hat and cowl design in progress that complements the mitts; I'm excited to announce that they will be available soon, with hopes of launching in the new year.

Also in the new year, keep an eye out for the Pop of Cherries pattern available for purchase from Knit Picks, so you can explore this charming collection further. Dive into your knitting journey with the Pop of Cherries mitts, and add a splash of colour to your winter wardrobe!
