Yukon ho!

Calvin & Hobbes fans will surely recognize these charming mitts as one of Calvin’s adventurous calls to action. Perfect for winter escapades, these mitts are double-thick with an extra-long cuff designed to provide you with wicked warmth and hold securely through any cold-weather outing. They are expertly knit in one continuous piece, starting from the fingertip edge of the cozy liner and finishing at the fingertip edge of the protective shell. The innovative design incorporates the liner color into the initial rows of the shell, creating a delightful pop of color at the wrist that adds style to functionality.

These mitts are not only stylish but also practical, providing an excellent opportunity for stash-busting as you can use up any partial skeins of yarn you may have been holding onto. We recommend looking for a worsted or light worsted superwash wool or a wool blend to ensure the best results. The versatility and warmth of these yarns will keep your hands toasty all winter long.

As a personal note from the designer, I knit quite loosely, so please take a moment to check your gauge before you begin. You may find that you need to go up a needle size or two to achieve the perfect fit. The model featured is just 9 months old and is wearing the adorable “Baby” size mitts, showcasing how these patterns can cater to the little ones in your life.

Embrace winter adventures with these delightful mitts—perfect for keeping your little one's hands warm while they explore the snowy outdoors or take on a new indoor knitting project.
