Utch

‘Utch’ – an endearing term from old Yorkshire and Northern dialect, meaning ‘snuggle’. Embrace the warmth and comfort this winter by grabbing your needles and ‘utching up’ with these delightful fingerless mitts. With their classic design and versatile styling options, these mitts can become a staple accessory in your knitwear collection.

These fingerless mitts feature a simple yet elegant pattern that allows for numerous variations, making them suitable for knitters of all skill levels. The thumb is skillfully picked up from waste yarn, ensuring a clean and polished finish. The understated edging detail adds just the right touch of charm to these cosy accessories, demonstrating that beauty often lies in simplicity. The real joy of this project comes from selecting a truly luxurious yarn that reflects your personal style.

For our featured mitts, we chose the wonderfully snuggly Rowan Alpaca Soft, a DK weight yarn that offers an impressive 125 meters per 50 grams. The example shown in our images used approximately 24 meters from a single 50g ball, making this project both economical and satisfying. Whether you’re treating yourself or crafting a thoughtful gift for a loved one, these fingerless mitts are sure to keep hands warm while allowing for freedom of movement. Perfect for a chilly day out or for typing at your desk, these comfortable and stylish mitts are a must-have for any knitting enthusiast.
