EasyFit Mittens - easy to wear,’almost’ easy to make :)

I created this pattern when the alpaca farmer for whom I made a number of my ‘EasyFit Gloves’ received a request for some mittens, so I adapted my fingerless gloves pattern into the EasyFit Mittens pattern, to allow for the thumb and fingers to be covered completely.

YOU can make your own mittens using this pattern - add stripes, lacework, change the yarn thickness; the options are many and varied!

As written, this pattern is a snug fit on a medium women’s wrist, with ‘wriggle room’ in the palm/fingers section. The thumb section is worked before the palm/fingers section, utilising a special join which helps eliminate a hole between the thumb and the palm (this is the only complicated bit about this pattern) - I have provided photos for this join, to help guide your hook into the correct places.

You’ll need 8ply (light worsted #3) yarn, and around 120-130metres. (I find it’s easiest to measure requirements in meters, because different fibers weigh differently.) You can also make this pattern using 10ply (worsted #3) yarn - the fit will just be a little looser.

I hope you enjoy making my EasyFit Mittens - it has been tested by experienced testers and I am fairly confident that there are very few errors. If you experience ANY difficulties, however, my contact details are permanently contained within the pattern itself and I’m very happy to help as needed.
