Wild Swans at Coole Mittens

Introducing our beautiful Wild Swans at Coole mittens, inspired by W.B. Yeats’ renowned poem, “The Wild Swans at Coole.” These stunning mittens are designed to be knit in the round from the bottom up, making them a perfect project for knitters looking to enhance their skills. Begin by casting on in a contrasting colour before transitioning to the main colour for the ribbing, creating a striking look that highlights your craft. 

As you progress, you’ll increase to form a thumb gusset, which offers both comfort and functionality. Once the gusset is complete, stitches are placed aside for the thumb, allowing you to focus on finishing the remainder of the mitten. Once you reach the top, you’ll expertly graft the stitches together for a seamless finish. After that, you’ll return the reserved stitches for the thumb back onto double-pointed needles (DPNs). Additional stitches are picked up to work the thumb in the round, ensuring a snug and tailored fit.

These Wild Swans at Coole mittens feature nearly entirely charted instructions, with distinct charts available for each size to cater to diverse preferences. Plus, we offer a matching hat pattern to complete your knitting ensemble! Purchase both patterns in an eBook for only €8, making it an excellent choice for any knitting enthusiast looking to create a cohesive winter set.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, these mittens provide a delightful challenge and a chance to showcase your creativity. Don’t miss out on this unique knitting pattern that combines literature and craftsmanship! Download your copy today and embark on your knitting journey!
