Rumble strip mitts

Discover the ultimate in style and functionality with these fingerless mitts, designed to provide both color and textural interest. Featuring a gusseted thumb, these mitts are meticulously crafted in the round from cuff to fingers, ensuring a perfect fit for all hand sizes.

The sample was expertly knitted using Jamieson and Smith 2 ply jumper weight yarn, well-known for its quality and richness in texture. Other 4-ply or fingering weight yarns will also perform beautifully, especially those containing more than 50% wool to enhance elasticity. For an exquisite alternative, consider using Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift yarn, readily available at LoveKnitting. To achieve a cozy and dense fabric, please use a smaller needle size than the one suggested on the yarn's ball band, ensuring your mitts will keep you warm and stylish.

Note on needles: Select needles based on your preferred method for knitting in the round, whether that's using double-pointed needles, a circular needle, or any other technique that suits your style.

In addition to yarn and needles, you'll need a few essential notions to complete your project: a cable needle, tapestry needle, five stitch markers, a row counter, and some smooth waste yarn. These tools will assist you in creating a beautiful, professional-looking pair of mitts.

The pattern includes a detailed cable design that is provided both in a visual chart format and as written instructions, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn new techniques or an experienced knitter seeking a fun project, these fingerless mitts are an excellent addition to your knitting repertoire.
