Spring is Coming Mitts

As winter comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to embrace the cozy charm of fingerless mitts. These delightful accessories are ideal for those transitional days when temperatures start to rise above freezing, the sun begins to peek through the clouds, and the biting wind loses its chill. Fingerless mitts allow you to keep your hands warm while giving your fingers the freedom to move—perfect for everything from sipping your favorite warm beverage to texting friends!

The process of knitting these mitts is not only enjoyable but can also become slightly addictive. We’ve had several testers who found themselves enthusiastically knitting late into the night, unable to resist just one more row ;)

Size: This pattern is designed in one size that fits an average woman's hand. The finished mitts measure approximately 6.5’’ / 16.5cm unstretched around the palm just above the thumb, making them suitable for a hand size of 7 – 8’’ / 18 – 20cm at that same point. To adjust the fit, you can easily change the needle size or modify the yarn weight and needle combination to meet your preferences.

Level: This pattern is perfect for adventurous beginners or intermediate knitters. The mitts are crafted in the round, utilizing a long-tail cast on technique along with cabling and basic lace stitches. Whether you're looking to build your skills or refine your technique, this project offers a satisfying challenge.

Needle Size: You’ll need US 2 ½ / 3mm double-pointed needles (DPNs) or circular needles if you prefer the magic loop method for knitting in the round. Pair them with your favorite yarn to create a unique and personalized set of mitts.

Don’t miss the chance to add a practical yet stylish accessory to your winter wardrobe. This fingerless mitts pattern not only keeps your hands warm but also showcases your creativity and knitting skills. Enjoy the process of crafting these beautiful mitts and take advantage of the end-of-winter knitting season!
