Erna Mittens
Fancy a bundle discount? Use code ERNA_BUNDLE to save 20% when purchasing at least two Erna patterns! This can also be applied if you’ve already purchased one of the patterns.
The Erna Mittens are simple, classic mittens matching the Erna Beanie. They’re worked bottom up in the round and all in one piece. The top of the mittens is finished off with decorative decreases matching the decreases on the Erna Beanie.
This pattern also includes instructions on how to make a fingerless mitts version of the Erna Mittens.
This pattern comes in one size, however, I recommend using slightly thicker or thinner yarn and needles to make the mittens bigger or smaller, and trying it on as you go.
To make it slightly bigger you could add a strand of Mohair yarn/lace weight yarn and knit on 4mm or even 4.5mm needles. To make it slightly smaller you could knit with a strand of fingering yarn and a strand of Mohair yarn/lace weight yarn on 3mm or even 2.75mm needles.
