Snow in the City Mitts

If you're in New York, you've likely noticed that everyone dons an all-black ensemble—black boots, black pants, and black coats are the norm for the morning subway crowd. That's why it’s such a delightful surprise to spot a vibrant pop of color amidst the drab hues of winter. Introducing our eye-catching mitts, perfect for brightening up your chilly commute! These colorful knitted mitts are not only compact and easy to tuck into your purse, but they also boast a cheerful design that stands out against the muted tones of winter wear.

Designed to be knit in the round, this pattern uses a clever technique of knitting with waste yarn and picking up stitches later to effortlessly create a simple thumb. The bright, repetitive colorwork adds a playful touch that beautifully contrasts with the otherwise monochromatic winter wardrobes we often see. Whether you’re on the subway or taking a leisurely stroll, these mitts will catch eyes and bring smiles.

This knitting pattern is offered in one size, specifically tailored to fit an adult woman's hands. However, feel free to adjust the yarn and needle size to customize the mitts according to your preference! Choose any soft sport weight wool yarn, and let your creativity shine through with your color choices. To ensure the best results, we highly recommend swatching a portion of the colorwork and performing a test wash to check for any dye running before diving into the full project.

Happy knitting and enjoy the warmth and color these delightful mitts will bring to your winter adventures!
