Serpensortia Mitts

Discover the joy of knitting with our delightful fingerless mitts pattern, featuring fun and intricate cables that elegantly stretch along the backside. This versatile pattern is designed for your convenience, allowing you to knit using various methods such as Double Pointed Needles (DPNs), magic loop, or short circular needles (shorties). While all methods are suitable, you’ll find the magic loop technique to be more straightforward and user-friendly compared to DPNs. Please note that the thumb finishing will require either DPNs or the magic loop method. To enhance your crafting experience, the cabling section of the pattern is thoughtfully presented both as a chart and in written line-by-line instructions for your convenience. Additionally, you will find suggested sizing adjustments within the pattern, making it perfect for customizing your fingerless mitts.

For this stylish project, you'll need Worsted weight yarn, requiring approximately 98-105 yards total, and a set of US 6/4mm needles whether you choose shorties, DPNs, or circular needles. Alternatively, if you prefer a DK weight yarn, gather about 105-108 yards total and use US 4/3.5mm needles in a similar setup. To complete your fingerless mitts, ensure you have the following tools on hand: stitch marker(s), a tapestry needle, scissors, 2 cable needles for those lovely twisty stitches, and some scrap yarn or a stitch holder for easy thumb placement. Embrace your creativity and craft a beautiful pair of fingerless mitts that are perfect for keeping your hands warm while allowing your fingers the freedom to move!
