Rainbow Mitts

These stylish knitted mitts are expertly designed to make use of small amounts of sock yarn – requiring only about 170 meters. If you're looking to save even more yarn, consider knitting shorter cuffs. After creating a pair of vibrant socks using self-striping yarn, I was inspired to design this project to utilize the remaining yarn from the ball. The featured yarn is West Yorkshire Spinners Cocktail yarn, specifically the eye-catching Rum Paradise colourway. Each mitt incorporates 5 repeats of the beautiful colour pattern, although the textured design would also shine in a solid colour, providing versatility for your knitting projects.

These mitts are tailored to fit an average female hand, thanks to their stretchy ribbed design, ensuring a comfortable and flexible fit. With a long cuff that can easily fold back, these mitts feature a convenient thumb opening and an additional long cuff, allowing it to be folded back or even over the fingers for extra warmth. You can customize the length of the cuffs based on your yarn leftovers, making this project perfect for stash busting! The mitts are knitted primarily in the round, which can be accomplished using either double-pointed needles or the magic loop method.

Mitts are an ideal transitional accessory, seamlessly bridging the gap from winter into spring. It’s almost always chilly enough to enjoy a cozy pair of mitts, making them a practical addition to your wardrobe. Don't miss out on this opportunity to create something beautiful and functional! Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, these mitts are not only quick to knit but also perfect for gifting or keeping for yourself.
