Severnside Mitts, is a design inspired by the beauty of The River Severn, which flows near the edge of the forest where I live. This pattern is part of the Severnside set, which also includes a matching beanie. Reflecting the river’s ever-changing views, the mitts feature a cable motif that mimics its winding path. Delicate seed stitch details add texture and depth to the motif, while columns of twisted stitches frame the design, symbolising the steady banks that guide the river.

Worked in the round from the cuff up, beginning with a snug
ribbed cuff that ensures a comfortable fit. As you knit, I hope you’ll enjoy the flow of the cables, a meditative process that mirrors the calming influence of the river. Pair the Severnside Mitts with the Severnside Beanie for a coordinated look that brings the magic of the river into your knitting. This set is sure to become a cherished addition to your winter wardrobe.
