Happy New Year Mittens & Mitts
Happy New 2025! May all your dreams for this coming year come true and may it bring you the best of everything!
The pattern is 25% Off with coupon code 2025. Valid through December 31st.
Materials
1. US Size 0 (2mm) set of dpns or circular needles (for Magic Loop method)
2. Light fingering weight yarn 231y/50 g (211m/50g). You will need about 344y/76 g total: Background color 1 – 56y/12g, Background color 2 – 130y/28g, Contrast color 1 – 36y/8g, Contrast Color 2 – 122y/28g.
3. Tapestry needle (for duplicate stitch - optional)
Notes
• Sizes: The size of the mittens/mitts can be adjusted with yarn and needles. My recommendation would be: for S/M light fingering + 2mm needles, for M use fingering + 2.25/2.5 mm needles, for large use sport weight and 2.5/3 mm needles.
• Options: You can follow the same pattern to make either full mittens or mitts version. Special instructions (notes) will be given for the mitts option.
There is also an option for a 64 or a 60-stitch cuff. Choose the one that fits you best.
• Stranded colorwork: Follow the charts from right to left. Catch longer floats using preferred method.
• Duplicate stitch: If desired, add some highlights to the ornaments on the cuff and the top of the mittens with duplicate stitch. Also, refer to page 14 of the pattern for suggestions for adding beads to the snowflake (optional).
• Construction: The mittens/mitts are knit in the round. The front of the mitten has more stitches than the palm side of the mitten (more notes on that in the instructions). The mittens have a sore thumb construction with the thumb gusset growing from the side of the mitten. Once the thumb gusset is finished, the thumb stitches are placed on a stitch holder or scrap yarn, and you finish the body of the mitten first. Lastly, the thumb stitches are placed back on needles and the thumb is completed.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH to my wonderful testers: Zwulli, bikewi and jenturm ♥♥♥
