Twist mittens (for knitting left-handed)

Discover our unique knitting pattern designed specifically for left-handed knitters who appreciate a charming and stylish accessory! In this pattern, the instructions are tailored for those who knit left-handed, meaning the stitches move from the right to left needle as you create your project. If you’re a left-handed knitter using a right-handed method (where stitches shift from the left to right needle), you may want to purchase our standard pattern for optimal results.

These adorable fingerless mittens, along with the cozy full mittens, are crafted using a chunky yarn that beautifully highlights the intricate textures created by the twisted stitches. Both mitten styles are knitted in the round, featuring mock side seams that cleverly prevent a jog in the stitch pattern, ensuring a clean and polished look. The unique 'seams' seamlessly rise from the charming rick-rack ribbing, travel through the beautiful Vikkel braid, and into the woven stitch pattern.

The fingerless mittens incorporate innovative shaping using a one-over-two cast-off technique that effectively minimizes any rolling at the edge, providing a refined finish to your project. Each mitten is finished with a special cast-off that perfectly mimics the delightful ‘seams’, adding an extra touch of detail. Additionally, the folk-style thumbs are knitted last, making them simple and enjoyable to work on, with no shaping necessary.

This pattern is not only fun to knit but also makes for a fantastic gift or personal accessory, ideal for keeping your hands warm while maintaining dexterity. With this straightforward and beautifully designed pattern, you'll be able to create mittens that are both functional and fashionable. So grab your needles and chunky yarn, and let’s get knitting!
