Supersoft Alpaca Geometric Mitts
Introducing our beautifully crafted cosy fairisle mitts, a perfect winter accessory worked in the round from cuff to palm. With an eye-catching geometric design, these mitts are knitted in supersoft alpaca yarn, ensuring warmth and comfort during the colder months. The long ribbed cuff can be customized to your preference and folded over for extra coziness, making these mitts not just stylish but also highly functional.
This delightful pair of mitts requires only two 50g balls of 4-ply yarn (one of each color), allowing you to create them affordably while leaving ample yarn for other projects. They make for fantastic gifts, especially when you experiment with various color combinations to suit your style. The sample shown features a chic charcoal and white combination, a versatile choice that pairs beautifully with any winter outfit.
For your knitting needs, we recommend using Garnstudio DROPS Alpaca yarn (1 ball of each color), showcased here in Dark Grey Mix and White. Each mitt measures approximately 24cm (9 ½ inches) from the cuff to the palm edge, but feel free to fold the cuff for your desired length, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone.
To get started on these gorgeous fairisle mitts, you will need:
- 1 set of circular needles size 2mm (US0) or the size needed to match your gauge
- 1 darning or wool needle for weaving in ends
- Stitch markers to keep track of your rounds
- Stitch holder or scrap yarn for keeping live stitches secure
Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just beginning your knitting journey, this pattern offers a satisfying and enjoyable experience. Dive into this delightful knitting project, and soon, you’ll have a pair of stunning mitts to keep your hands warm during the chilly winter months!
