These cheerful mitts will carry you through chilly spring days and bring a smile to your face. Pattern includes two charted options for the tulips that can be mixed and features an afterthought thumb.
Skill Level: Intermediate. Techniques used include stranded colorwork, Alternate Cable Cast On (optional), Tubular Bind Off (optional).
Finished Circumference: approx. 7 ¾ (8 ¾) in 18 (22.5)cm.
Finished Length: 5 ¾ (6 ½) in 14.5 (16.5)cm.
Yarn: Fingering weight yarn: 130 (165) yds (119 (151)m) MC, 20 (26) yds 18 (24)m CC1, and 10 (13) yds 9 (12)m CC2. Shown in Knit Picks Gloss Fingering: Clover (MC), and Cranberry (CC2); and Knitpicks Bare Gloss Fingering (CC1).
This pattern is an excellent stash buster. Note that one of the colors used in the sample is discontinued; Knitpicks Palette or any fingering weight wool yarn could be easily substituted.
Needles: US #2 2.75mm dpns or 32 in 80cm circular (for magic loop); or size needed to obtain gauge.
Notions: stitch marker, tapestry needle, about 8 in 20 cm waste yarn for each thumb.
Notes: Mitts are worked in the round from the cuff with an afterthought (forethought) thumb. Thumb stitches are worked in waste yarn and unraveled later to complete the thumbs. You may use either or both Tulip Charts, but note that if you mix the two charts as in the sample there will be one three-color row. The third color may optionally be worked later by duplicate stitch.
