Septennial Mitts

Introducing the Septennial Mitts: soft, warm, and comforting hand-knit mittens designed to accompany you through the changing seasons. Crafted to perfectly pair with the exquisite Septennial Twist shrug, these mitts are an essential addition to your knitwear collection.

These beautifully designed mitts are knitted in the round, featuring the same intricate cable pattern that adorns the outer hand of the Septennial Twist Shawl. By combining two luxurious yarns, the Septennial Mitts create a fabric that feels as soft and cozy as knitting with a cloud, providing the ultimate comfort for chilly days.

Knit from the top down, these versatile mitts are not just functional; they’re also a sustainable option for your knitting projects. Designed to utilize left-over yarn from your Septennial Twist shrug, they allow you to reduce waste while creating something beautiful. The pattern is adaptable, enabling you to easily shorten or lengthen the cuffs to match your available yarn, making it perfect for customizing to your liking.

The recommended yarn for this project includes Ginger’s Hand Dyed Yakety Yak 4-ply, a luxurious blend of 60% Superwash Merino, 20% Yak, and 20% Silk, with a length of 366m/400yds per 100g/3.5oz skein. For this design, you will need approximately 20 (22, 24)g or 73 (80, 88)m/80 (87, 95)yds in the colorway Voyager 20. You will also need Ginger’s Hand Dyed Leading Lady Lace, which consists of 72% Fine Kid Mohair and 28% Silk, yielding 420m/459yds per 50g/1.75oz skein. For this pattern, you will need about 10 (11, 12)g or 84 (92, 100)m/92 (100, 109)yds in the colorway Voyager 10.

Keep in mind, these two yarns are held together throughout your knitting process, resulting in a warm and beautiful fabric that you'll love wearing. Perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike, the Septennial Mitts make for a cozy project to enjoy while welcoming the beauty of fall and winter.
