Red Squirrel fingerless mitts

**Knitting Pattern for Fingerless Mitts with Adorable Red Squirrels** Introducing a delightful PDF knitting pattern for a stylish pair of fingerless mitts or gloves, featuring two charming red squirrels on the front of each mitt. Each whimsical squirrel is depicted holding a tasty acorn, adding a touch of nature-inspired flair to your accessory collection. The palms of these mitts are intentionally kept plain to emphasize the intricate designs on the front. The mitts showcased in our photograph are crafted in the luxurious Rowan Fine Tweed yarn, presented in a sophisticated dark beige color that complements the playful squirrels beautifully. This flecked yarn is equivalent to a 4-ply weight, ensuring a cozy fit. The squirrels are knitted in a striking rust color from Rowan Wool 4-ply, complete with vivid yellow eyes, cute black noses, and realistic acorns in shades of brown and light beige. Crafted with care, these fingerless mitts require only 25 grams of Fine Tweed yarn to complete. Due to the remarkable yardage of this wool, if you opt for an alternative 4-ply yarn—be it wool, cashmere, or cotton—you may need slightly more, estimating around 30 to 40 grams for the main color. The delightful squirrel motifs are initially knitted using the intarsia method, allowing for vibrant color transitions. However, if you prefer a different approach, the mitts can easily be knitted in classic plain stocking stitch, with the squirrels added later using duplicate stitch or Swiss darning techniques, perfect for those looking to customize their work. This pattern includes two sets of detailed charts for both left and right mitts, provided in both symbols and colors, ensuring that knitters of all skill levels can follow along easily. Accompanying the charts are thoroughly typed knitting instructions, meticulously designed for a straightforward knitting experience. Approximate measurements for the finished mitts are as follows: 9 cm (3.5 inches) wide (unstretched and excluding the thumb), 13 cm (5 inches) long from the top of the ribbing to the cast-off edge, and featuring a ribbing length of 2.5 cm (1 inch). Embrace creativity in your knitting projects with these adorable fingerless mitts, perfect for keeping your hands warm while allowing your fingers to remain free for texting, crafting, or sipping your favorite beverage.
