Valentine Mitts

Craft these adorable fingerless mitts quickly, perfect for keeping your hands warm or gifting to a loved one! This straightforward pattern features easy stranded colorwork, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced knitters. For a unique twist, you can also add heart designs using duplicate stitch if you prefer.

Each mitt showcases seven large, charming hearts that elegantly encircle the hand and thumb, adding a playful and romantic touch. The pattern uses Knit Picks Palette yarn, made from Peruvian Highland Wool. While it may not be super soft, this yarn comes in a vast array of colors, is budget-friendly, and works beautifully for colorwork projects. If you wish to explore other brands, feel free to substitute with any light fingering weight yarn that you love. Experimenting with different color combinations can lead to even more exciting and personalized mitts!

Designed to fit most from 12-year-olds to adult sizes, these fingerless mitts are versatile in their sizing. If you choose to use slightly larger needles (size US 1.5 or US 2), achieving a gauge of 8.5 to 9 stitches per inch will ensure a comfortable fit for adult men as well. Whether you’re preparing for chilly weather or need a stylish accessory for your daily outings, these delightful fingerless mitts are a must-have project.
