Simpson Mittens

**Simpson Mitten Knitting Pattern: A Cozy Creation from the Warm Hands, Warm Hearts Collection** Welcome to the enchanting world of knitting with the Simpson mittens, the third exquisite pattern from the renowned Warm Hands, Warm Hearts collection. These mittens are not just a stylish accessory; they embody warmth and craftsmanship, making them a perfect addition to your winter wardrobe. The Simpson pattern beautifully merges a straightforward stripe sequence with skilfully slipped stitches, resulting in a stunningly subtle tweed texture that elevates any outfit. Starting on single-point needles, this design features a unique Tricolour Braided Cast On technique. Although it may take a little practice to master, the end result is undoubtedly worth the effort! Once you have expertly knitted the twisted rib edge, you'll dive into the main pattern. The delightful combination of three-color tweed stitches and short rows transforms the rib into an elegant mitred edge that gracefully travels up the sides of the mitten. This innovative approach not only adds a charming visual appeal but also ensures a snug fit. Once the body of the mitten is complete, you'll transfer your work onto double-pointed needles (dpns) and continue knitting in rounds using the tweed stitch throughout. The finishing touch involves casting off the mitred edge, which is artfully lapped over the side of the hand and secured with a simple slip stitch, ensuring durability and an immaculate finish. Crafted using three stunning shades from my [Baby Alpaca DK][1] yarn collection, the mittens showcase the colors Charcoal, Chestnut, and Fuchsia. Each shade is carefully selected to enhance the beautiful tweed effect while offering warmth and comfort against the elements. This versatile pattern includes detailed written instructions available in three sizes, catering to various hand dimensions for that perfect fit: - **Small:** Actual circumference of 18 cm (just over 7 inches) and length of 25.5 cm (10 inches) Whether you're an experienced knitter or a motivated beginner, the Simpson mittens will empower you to create a piece that combines functionality with artistry. Embrace the joy of knitting and keep your hands toasty and stylish this winter with the Simpson mitten pattern! Download now and start your cozy knitting adventure today!
