These mitts evoke classic candies and are perfect for winter gifts. Fingerless tips let our fingers enjoy the warmth of a cup of tea while we wait for the bus or, let’s be real, as we scroll on our phones. Corrugated ribs cuffs are knit using the two pass method so you are only using one color at a time – SO much easier! The Star Stitch in the body is worked in a single slipped stitch row – again, no stranded color work while giving the illusion of complicated construction.

YARN Approximately 100 yds of white and 150 yds of red Dragonfly Fibers Traveller (DK weight) to make a pair of mitts. Sample knitted in Nekkid and Dragonberry.

NEEDLES US2 and US5 circulars at least 32 inches long. Pattern uses Magic Loop method. Double pointed needles may also be used.

NOTIONS 1 stitch marker, tapestry needle

SIZING One size fits most adults. Width can be increased in multiples of 6 stitches and hand length can be increased in multiples of 4 rows, but will require more yarn.
