Sacket's Harbor Mittens

Discover the charm of the Sacket’s Harbor Mittens, an easy stranded mitten pattern designed specifically for the intermediate knitter. Inspired by my summer sojourns, Sacket’s Harbor is the first signpost I see once I’ve left the hustle and bustle of the interstate. Much like these delightful mittens, Sacket’s Harbor is a quiet gem along the Seaway Trail, offering breathtaking views of cool Lake Ontario. This stunning area boasts a slightly retro vibe, with nostalgic roadside bars and cafes that have long since closed due to the development of I-81. I have a special affection for this location, often dreaming of how it transforms in the off-season—imagine foggy mornings filled with damp air and large, fluffy snowflakes gently falling on the icy waters.

The Sacket’s Harbor Mittens are not only both stylish and functional, but they also make the perfect first stranded knitting project for those looking to enhance their skills. These mittens are knit in the round and feature a fully-fashioned thumb, making them a wonderful choice for knitters eager to explore the world of colorwork and stranded knitting techniques. What’s more, this pattern can be worked in any worsted weight yarn, though be mindful that yardage requirements may vary depending on the yarn content you choose. The stitch patterns are conveniently presented in charted form, making it easy to follow along.

Whether you're crafting these cozy mittens for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one, the Sacket's Harbor Mittens are sure to keep hands warm and bring a smile to any face. Get ready to dive into your next knitting adventure with this charming mitten pattern, and showcase your love for handmade items inspired by beautiful seasonal landscapes!
