Appalachian Winter Mittens
These mittens are perfect for cold winter months, featuring a colorwork pattern knit in aran-weight yarn, evocative of the blue, rolling Appalachian mountains. The design features a gusset thumb, slightly to the palm side for a comfortable fit, and a classic rounded top. Loops attached to the inside of the cuff are a handy option if you tend to get your mittens wet and frequently need to hang them for drying!
SIZES: This pattern is written for one size, adult average, but could easily be adapted to other sizes using worsted or sport weight yarns at different gauges.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
Circumference: 8 inches
Length: 10 inches, from cuff to tip
Fits: hands measuring up to 8.5 inches in circumference.
Changes to gauge or yarn weight, or adding length, may require extra yarn.
GAUGE: 21 sts and 27 rnds = 4”/10cm on gauge size needles
NEEDLES:
US Size 4 (3.5mm), or size needed to obtain gauge.
Choose needle types base on your preferred method of working small circumferences in the round. Options include magic-loop on a 32-inch circular needle, DPNs, or 2 24-inch circular needles.
NOTIONS: 2 stitch markers, a length of smooth yarn for a holder, tapestry needle
SKILLS USED: working in the round, decreases (k2tog), increases (M1), using a chart, 2-color colorwork, stranding across long gaps, picking up stitches
