Winding Leaves mitts

Discover the joy of knitting with this stylish stranded colorwork mitts pattern, designed to create a unique fraternal pair that features slightly different patterning on the front and back. Worked in the round from the cuff up with a convenient thumb gusset, these mitts are not only quick to knit but also perfect for using up leftover fingering weight yarn from your previous projects. Thanks to their engaging design, these mitts make for a delightful addition to your winter wardrobe or a thoughtful handmade gift for a loved one.

When knitted to the specified tension of 7.5 stitches per inch (2.5cm), these mitts will comfortably fit the average size woman's hand. The finished mitts measure approximately 7.5 inches (19cm) around the palm, just above the thumb, ensuring both warmth and style. You will need about 120 yards (110m) of fingering weight yarn in color A (depicted in green in the accompanying photo) and around 75 yards (70m) of fingering weight yarn in color B (shown in white in the photo) to complete this project.

For this knitting pattern, you'll require 2.75mm (US2) knitting needles for working in the round—adjust as necessary to achieve the desired tension. Additional materials you'll need include 2 stitch markers, a stitch holder or some waste yarn, and a darning needle for finishing touches.

The eye-catching colorwork design is presented in chart form only, allowing experienced knitters to embrace the craftsmanship. With a thumb gusset for an ideal fit, you’ll be knitting these charming mitts in no time.
