Under the Pines Fingerless Mitts

Introducing the Under the Pines Fingerless Mitts, a delightful knitting pattern that showcases a unique pine tree cable design paired with a charming twist pattern that evokes the festive spirit of peppermint sticks. These lovely mitts are crafted using yarn leftovers from my Sockin’ Around the Christmas Tree socks, though you are welcome to unleash your creativity by using any yarn you prefer. Perfect for cozy winter days or gifting during the holiday season, these mitts are as versatile as they are stylish.

**Finished Size:** The Under the Pines mitts have a snug cuff and hand measuring 6.5 inches unstretched, with the ability to comfortably stretch up to 9 inches, making them suitable for a variety of hand sizes. These mitts feature a remarkable stretch, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone.

**Yarn:** This pattern calls for Sweet Mountain Crafts Scree Sock yarn, a luxurious blend of 80% superwash Merino wool and 20% nylon, offering durability and warmth. Each skein contains 389 yards (100g), and for our sample, which was knitted using the festive Christmasy Set (complete with a 20g mini skein of a complimentary colorway), we utilized 46g or approximately 180 yards of yarn.

**Needles:** To create these enchanting fingerless mitts, you will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or circular needles in size 3 US (3.25 mm), or you can select a size that helps you achieve the required gauge for perfect results.

**Gauge:** Achieve a lovely fabric with a gauge of 28 stitches and 36 rows per 4 inches in blocked stockinette stitch, knitted in the round. This precise gauge is essential for ensuring a perfect fit and the overall aesthetic of your mitts.
