Rhombi Mitts
Sizes Available: Small (Large) = 7.25” (8.25”)/18.5 cm (21 cm) around the hand above the thumb, 6” (7”)/15.25 cm (17.75 cm) around the wrist, and 6” (7”)/15.25 cm (17.75 cm) tall from the CO to BO edge. These dimensions ensure a comfortable fit for both small and large hands.
Gauge Information: Achieve a precise gauge of 34 stitches by 32 rounds over 4”/10 cm when using larger needles in the colorwork pattern. For the twisted rib portion, aim for a gauge of 36 stitches by 44 rounds over 4”/10 cm using smaller needles. Proper gauge is essential for ensuring the perfect fit for your knitted mitts.
Yarn Requirements: You will need 2 skeins (1 per color) of Woolfolk Sno yarn (223 yards/204 meters, 50g/1.76 oz, made from 100% Merino Wool). Choose colorways 00+28 (MC for the Small sample) and 19+20 (CC for the Small sample); use the reverse for the Large sample. Each set of yarn makes two pairs of stylish mitts in different sizes—one in Small and one in Large. This makes it easy to create a matching set or to gift a pair to a friend!
**Estimated Yarn Yardage per Size**: For the Small pair, you'll need approximately 90 yards of MC and 45 yards of CC. For the Large pair, the estimates are 125 yards of MC and 45 yards of CC. **Note**: Remember, any adjustments to the length of pattern repeats will significantly affect your total yardage, so plan accordingly!
Recommended Needles: Use US 2/2.75 mm double-pointed needles (dpns) or extra-long circular needles for the twisted rib section. For the colorwork section, opt for US 2.5/3 mm dpns or extra-long circular needles. Feel free to use any needle size necessary to obtain the suggested gauge for your knitting project.
Other Essential Materials: Ensure you have 2 stitch markers, some scrap yarn for helpful techniques, and a darning needle for weaving in ends. These supplies will support you in creating a stunning finished result!
