These fingerless mitts are worked in the round, featuring intricate cable patterns on the back of the hand that add a touch of elegance. Perfect for keeping your hands cozy while leaving your fingers free for everyday tasks, these mitts are an excellent choice for knitters looking to enhance their accessory collection.
Yarn: The recommended yarn for the Rampicante mitts is AMORE WS 160 supersoft cashmere by Borgo de' Pazzi. This luxurious blend consists of 45% wool, 25% rayon, 20% nylon, and 10% cashmere goat. The yarn boasts a generous length of 160 meters per 50 grams, ensuring you'll have plenty of softness and warmth for your project.
Sizes: The pattern offers two size options: S/M and M/L. The palm circumferences for S/M are 7 inches (17.5 cm) and for M/L are 7.5 inches (19.5 cm). For those wishing to make larger mitts, the M/L circumference measures 7.5 inches (19.5 cm) and 8 inches (21.5 cm). You will need approximately 90 meters (for S/M) or 110 meters (for M/L) of similar DK weight yarn to achieve the perfect gauge.
Needles: To knit the Rampicante mitts, you will need a circular needle of 40 inches (100 cm) for the magic loop method or double pointed needles. Use US size 4 (3.5 mm) and US size 5 (3.75 mm) needles, adjusting as necessary to meet the desired gauge. This flexibility allows knitters of all levels to find the right fit for their hands.
Notions: Essential notions for this project include three markers, waste yarn for stitch holding, a cable needle for the design elements, and a darning needle for finishing touches. These simple tools will help you create beautiful and functional fingerless mitts that are perfect for any occasion.
