Summer by the Pond

Summer by the Pond is a delightful variation of the popular Summer in the Forest knitting pattern, expertly designed to accommodate thicker yarns such as sport weight. This lovely mitten pattern not only brings to life the beauty of summer but also serves as a parent mitten design to the adorable Summer by the Pond (Kids) pattern. It beautifully captures the essence of warm summer days spent by the pond, featuring charming illustrations of frogs and snails basking in the sun.

The mittens are crafted to be 56 stitches wide and 80 rows long (excluding ribbing), ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit. Using fingering weight yarn with US size 0 (2mm) or US size 1 (2.25mm) needles, these mittens are perfect for average-sized teens. For those who wish to create adult-sized mittens, simply opt for thicker yarns such as sport or DK weight and utilize US size 2-4 (2.75 - 3.5 mm) needles for a cozy, warm finish.

This pattern is not only a joy to knit but also makes for a wonderful gift or family project, allowing everyone to enjoy the whimsical charm of summer. Ideal for knitters looking for a creative and fun way to express their love for nature, the Summer by the Pond mittens provide endless opportunities for customization and personalization. So gather your materials, and let your needles dance as you create these enchanting mittens that celebrate the joys of summer by the pond!
