Munro Mitts
Spring Make-It-Now 2021
Our Spring ‘21 Make It Now collection features stitch textures -- mesh, cables, seed, eyelets, and knit-purl combinations in embossed relief -- in light fabrics and soft colors that highlight March’s transitional weather.
As March is also Women’s History Month, the pattern names nod to women who’ve won the Nobel Prize: Grazia Deledda (Literature, 1926), Emmanuelle Charpentier (Chemistry, 2020), Shirin Ebadi (Peace, 2003), Gertrude Elion (Medicine, 1988), Ada Yonath (Chemistry, 2009), and Alice Munro (Literature, 2013).
/////
The cuff of the Munro Mitts is worked back and forth in rows. Then the ends of the strip are brought together and the body stitches begin along one long edge. A simple pattern stitch of alternating half-double crochet and chain stitches flows easily around a finish-free thumb.

For the hand pattern, each half double crochet stitch (hdc) is worked around the chain stitch from the round below and into the stitch 2 rounds below, encircling the chain stitch. Each chain stitch is worked across the top of a half double crochet stitch from the round below.
