Seaberry Mittens
Discover a delightful pair of mittens adorned with golden berries gracefully growing up the back of the hand, complemented by a richly textured moss stitch palm that adds both style and functionality.
SIZE: Available in sizes S (M, L), with a circumference of 7 (8, 9) inches. The sample shown is in Size S, perfect for snug and cozy fit!
MATERIALS: To create these charming mittens, you'll need Yarn Geek Fibers' DK weight Maven yarn, which consists of 80% domestic targhee and 20% silk, providing exceptional warmth and a luxurious feel. You’ll require just one skein of the lovely colorway Helen Augusta Blanchard, measuring 230 yards per 94 grams.
You will also need a set of US #4/3.5 mm double-pointed needles (dpns) and a set of US #6/4 mm dpns for the varying stitch patterns. Additionally, keep a tapestry needle and a cable needle on hand to finish your project flawlessly.
GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 22 stitches and 34 rows per 4 inches in moss stitch. For the charted Berry pattern, note that 10 rows equal approximately 1.25 inches to ensure your design turns out perfectly.
PATTERN NOTES: These mittens are ingeniously constructed in the round, working from the cuff up. Begin by increasing stitches for the gusset, which will enhance fit and comfort. Once completed, the stitches for the thumb are temporarily placed on a holder or waste yarn to be completed later. The construction process for the Cuff, Setup Rnd, Palm, and Decrease sections follows an easy-to-understand pattern, making this a fantastic knitting project for both beginners and more advanced knitters looking for a creative challenge.
These beautiful mittens not only serve as a practical accessory but also as a wonderful gift for friends and loved ones. Enjoy knitting your own cozy pair and showcase your craftsmanship!
