Macadam Fingerless Mitts
Macadam Fingerless Mitts are worked in a beautiful textured stitch pattern which is very easy to work but looks interesting. It creates a thick and stretchy fabric, the finished mitts are simple enough for men, and the deep texture won’t be lost in darker colours. If you like matching accessories you can wear it with the Macadam Cowl.
Gauge
20 sts and 44 rounds = 10x10 cm/4”x4” in Macadam Stitch Pattern knit in the round with needle A after blocking
Base gauge: 20 sts and 28 rounds = 10x10 cm/4”x4” in Stockinette Stitch knit in the round with needle A after blocking
Obtaining the correct gauge is not crucial, but any differences will affect the size of the finished mitts.
