Sivas Mittens

Sivas Mittens Knitting Pattern by Edita

SIZE: This expertly crafted knitting pattern for Sivas mittens is designed to fit the average adult woman's hand size, making them a perfect accessory for cozy warmth.

NEEDLES: For this project, you will need 3 mm (US2, ½ /UK11) circular needles with a long cable, suitable for the Magic Loop method (80 cm/32” or longer). Alternatively, you can use a set of double-pointed needles in the same size.

YARN: Utilize high-quality Merino extra fine 100% wool, with each 50 g (1.8 oz) skein yielding 105 m (115 yds). This pattern requires 100 g of yarn, totaling 210 m (230 yds) in a DK/worsted yarn weight for optimal softness and durability.

GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 21 stitches x 28 rows equals 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4") when using 3 mm (US2, ½ /UK11) needles in stockinette stitch after blocking. This ensures that your mittens fit snugly and comfortably.

CONSTRUCTION: The Sivas mittens are ingeniously knitted from the hand to the fingertips, with a special separate thumb construction for added ease. The left and right mittens have unique patterns to enhance individuality, with special instructions provided for each. Every round and stitch is meticulously described to guide you through the process. If you’d like to make your mittens longer, simply increase the number of rounds before beginning the thumb. Thanks to the Half Fisherman’s stitch, these mittens are both stretchy and versatile, accommodating the sizes from S to L—perfect for a range of adult women’s hands.
