Thumdrum Mittens
Discover a delightful knitting pattern for a cozy pair of worsted weight wool women's mittens, designed specifically to fit an average woman's hand. This pattern is ideal for knitters seeking to create beautiful, functional mittens, with an assumed measurement of 19cm around the hand just below the knuckles. If you find that your hands are smaller or larger, feel free to adjust the gauge to customize the fit of your mittens.
This mitten pattern emphasizes thoughtful shaping, particularly in the thumb gusset, allowing you to create a pair of mittens that stand out from the ordinary. With a focus on technique, these mittens blend practicality with style, offering a charming addition to your winter wardrobe or a thoughtful homemade gift.
In this pattern, you'll find two methods for constructing the thumb: a traditional approach, perfect for beginners, and an advanced option for intermediate and experienced knitters. The latter method involves turning the mitten inside out before working the thumb, providing a unique take on thumb construction that enhances the finished look.
To successfully complete this pattern, you should be comfortable knitting in the round and executing a 3-needle bind-off technique. Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a handcrafted gift for a loved one, these mittens are sure to delight!
