Vitamin Z

It’s winter, and you need to protect yourself from the chill: catching a cold is a real concern! To stay warm and healthy, make sure to eat well, get plenty of sleep, drink lots of fluids—and don’t forget to wear your Vitamin Z! Our special winter mittens pattern will keep your hands cozy and stylish.

This over-sized mitten pattern combines a unique bulky yarn with a lighter-weight yarn in a stunning Fair Isle design, offering a wearing experience that's almost as warm and cozy as thrummed mittens. The beauty of this project lies in its simplicity—there’s no need to manage multiple separate thrums, which means it knits up much faster, making it the perfect quick winter project!

For the lighter-weight yarn, we recommend using a basic wool that will provide warmth and durability. For the bulky yarn, choose something incredibly soft—look for fibers blended with angora or alpaca. This will ensure maximum squishiness and comfort, along with excellent thermal insulation to defend against the biting cold!

This knitting pattern is designed for intermediate knitters familiar with Fair Isle techniques and comfortable using double-pointed needles. It’s helpful, though not mandatory, to have completed at least one pair of mittens with a gusset to help you navigate the construction effectively. Get ready to create an essential winter accessory that’s functional, fashionable, and fun to knit!

Whether you're looking for a delightful gift or simply want to treat yourself, these stunning Fair Isle mittens are a perfect choice. Download our free knitting pattern today and wrap your hands in warmth!
