Two Sisters Fingerless Mitts
Introducing the Two Sisters Fingerless Mitts, a delightful addition to your winter accessories, featuring a beautifully squishy lace pattern that is perfect for those milder winter days we often experience in the South. These stylish mitts serve as ideal hand warmers during transitional weather, offering comfort and a touch of elegance. Easily complemented by the matching hat, the mitts are crafted using the exclusive Two Sisters and Some Yarn Set from Sweet Mountain Crafts, inspired by the beloved podcast of the same name.
Yarn: For these fingerless mitts, we recommend using Sweet Mountain Crafts Scree Sock, which is composed of 80% Superwash Merino and 20% Nylon, providing an exceptional blend of warmth and durability. Each skein boasts a generous 389 yards/100g. The sample pair uses the Two Sisters and Some Yarn set, which includes a full skein of the main color along with two delightful mini skeins in purple and aqua, each containing 78 yards/20g. In total, the mitts utilized about 185 yards of yarn, with approximately 129 yards from the main color and about 27 yards each from the purple and aqua mini skeins.
Needles: To create your own Two Sisters Fingerless Mitts, you will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or circular needles, sized 3 US (3.25 mm).
Gauge: Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for a perfect fit. For this pattern, you'll find it challenging to measure gauge in the lace pattern. Therefore, we recommend using the blocked stockinette gauge, which is 24 stitches and 32 rows per 4 inches, knit in the round. Alternatively, when working with the lace pattern, aim for 5 repeats and 34 rows over 4 inches in the blocked pattern, specifically measured on round 5.
Let the Two Sisters Fingerless Mitts be your go-to accessory for those cozy, cool-weather outings. Whether you're sipping on hot cocoa or taking a brisk walk, these beautiful mitts will keep your hands warm while allowing for dexterity. Embrace the beauty of knitting with this elegant and functional pattern, perfect for knitters of all skill levels!
