Simsala

Simsala is a delightful top-down mitten (or mitt) knitting pattern designed for quick knitting using DK weight yarn. This pattern features a practical thumb gusset that ensures a snug and comfortable fit, while the engaging striped design adds a playful touch to your knitting project, contributing to the greater good of cozy handwear.

The mittens and mitts are crafted using the magic loop method on a long circular needle. However, if you prefer, you can easily knit them on double-pointed needles or two circular needles—whichever method you find most enjoyable!

This project is perfect for beginners and seasoned knitters alike and is an ideal choice for using up those leftover yarn scraps. If you decide to purchase new yarn in three vibrant colors, three 50-gram skeins will be more than enough to create one pair of mittens and one pair of mitts (or alternatively, two pairs of mittens if you switch the colors around for variety).

The Simsala pattern is versatile, accommodating different hand sizes: the large mitten or mitt fits a man-sized hand, the medium is tailored for a medium-large woman’s hand, and the small size is suitable for a small woman’s hand or a reasonably sized child. It ensures everyone stays warm in style!

You have the creative freedom to mix and match features from simsala and its complementary sibling pattern, bim. This allows you to create unique, personalized mittens that showcase your individual style. Simsalabim!
