Sheridan Mitts
Finished Measurements: S/M (M/L) To fit palm circumference 7-8”/18-20 cm (8-9”/20-23 cm). Length: 8”/20 cm (measurement taken after blocking). These fingerless mitts are designed for ultimate comfort and style, providing warmth to your hands while allowing for freedom of movement in your fingers.
Yarn Requirements: You will need approximately 170 yds/155 m of heavy fingering or sport weight yarn. We recommend using 2 skeins of MillaMia Naturally Soft Merino, which is made from 100% Merino wool (137 yds/125 m per 50 g skein). We're featuring the beautiful shade of Cloud Grey to complement your wardrobe.
Needles Needed: A set of double-pointed needles in size US 2/2.75 mm, or a circular needle in the same size with a length of 40”/100 cm for practicing the Magic Loop technique. Make sure to choose your needle size to achieve the proper gauge for a perfect fit.
Essential Notions: Gather your knitting tools, including stitch markers, a cable needle, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and some waste yarn for the thumb technique. These notions will make your knitting experience smoother and more enjoyable.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 28 stitches and 36 rounds over a 4”/10 cm swatch on US 2/2.75 mm needles in Stockinette stitch after blocking. Additionally, 22 stitches of the Cable Chart will measure approximately 2¾”/7 cm after blocking. Getting the right gauge is essential for ensuring your fingerless mitts fit perfectly.
Notes: These stylish fingerless mitts are worked from the bottom up in the round, allowing for seamless construction. The intricate stitch pattern is both charted and written, catering to different knitting preferences and skill levels. Perfect for both beginner and intermediate knitters, this pattern provides a satisfying and beautiful finished product.
Whether you’re looking for a cozy accessory for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a loved one, these fingerless mitts are a delightful project. Follow the detailed instructions to create your own pair and enjoy the warmth and elegance of handmade knitwear!
