Tofty Mitts
Size: This versatile knitting pattern is designed to fit medium-sized adult hands. The finished palm circumference measures 19 cm (approximately 7.75 inches), with an overall length of 20 cm (about 7.75 inches), making it an excellent choice for a comfortable and snug fit.
Yarn: For this pattern, you'll need just one skein of Cria DK by Martin’s Lab, a luxurious yarn that is 100% alpaca. Each skein contains 225 meters (246 yards) per 100 grams, offering you outstanding softness and warmth. The sample is showcased in the beautiful Denim colorway, perfect for a stylish accessory.
Needles: To create these gorgeous hand-knit gloves, you'll need a pair of 3.75 mm (US #5) needles or the size required to achieve your desired gauge. You can use double-pointed needles (dpns) or a long circular needle for the magic loop technique. For the cuff, a smaller size needle of 3.5 mm (US #4) or one size smaller than your gauge needles is recommended. Again, dpns or long circular needles can be utilized for this section as well.
Other Materials: In addition to yarn and needles, gather some stitch markers to help you keep track of your progress, as well as a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends, ensuring a polished finish to your project.
Gauge: Achieving the correct gauge is essential for the perfect fit! Aim for 24 stitches and 34 rounds over 10 cm (4 inches) in the pattern worked in the round using 3.75 mm (US #5) needles. Take the time to check your gauge carefully, as this can save you time and frustration later. Adjust your needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge before you begin your project.
This knitting pattern promises not only a satisfying crafting experience but also a delightful accessory you’ll love to wear. Whether you're making them as a cozy gift or treating yourself, these gloves will be a stunning addition to any wardrobe.
