Let’s make no bones about it. These skeleton mittens are the go-to accessory to warm the wicked chill in the dead of winter. Halloween mittens, anyone?

By combining Magic Loop with a simple short row technique, knitters can easily knit these seamless intarsia mittens.

Ribbing the full length of the cuff provides enough stretch and shaping to keep these elbow-length gloves in place, even during the most diabolical of snowball fights.

Small (Medium, Large) to fit 7(8,9)” / 18(20, 23)cm hand circumference. The ribbing on the cuff will accommodate a large range of sizes. The Large size should accommodate even the largest hands.

Yardage:
Color A: 100 grams/250 yards of a DK weight
Color B: 50 grams/125 yards of a DK weight

This pattern is sized for adults. To adjust them for child sizes, leave out the wrist chart or shorten the arm or finger charts and cast on fewer stitches between the row marker and side marker.
