Reflejada Fingerless Mitts

Introducing the beautifully crafted Reflejada Mitts, showcasing a stunning design that features reflected swinging cables and ribbing around the palms for a snug and cozy fit. Named by my talented Spanish teacher and knitting enthusiast friend Sarah, "reflejada" translates to "reflected," which perfectly encapsulates the innovative design of these mitts.

Finished Size: The mitts offer an ideal fit with a cuff and hand measurement of 5” unstretched and 8.75” when stretched, ensuring comfort and warmth during chilly days.

Yarn: This pattern calls for Dragonfly Fibers Djinni yarn, composed of 80% Merino, 10% Cashmere, and 10% Nylon, providing superior softness and durability with a total yardage of 420 yards per 113 grams. The sample was beautifully knit in the rich colorway of Dragon Wagon, utilizing approximately 145 yards in total. Please note that this luxurious yarn is discontinued; however, you can use any fingering weight yarn as a substitute. For the best results, tightly plied yarns will enhance the visibility of the intricate cable designs.

Needles: To create these exquisite mitts, you will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles, or your preferred method for knitting in the round, in size US 3 (3.25 mm). Ensure you choose the appropriate size to achieve the correct gauge.

Gauge: Achieve a precise gauge of 24 stitches and 32 rows in a 4” blocked stockinette knit in the round. The cable chart dimensions are 2”x3”, providing ample detail and texture to your finished project.
