Sugarbush Mittens
The sugarbush is where all the action is in the Maine woods in early spring. Clear, ever so slightly sweet sap is concentrated into that most delightful of natural sugars--what would pancakes be without maple syrup?
The colors in this design are reminiscent of the sugarbush in the autumn--with all those maples in every possible shade of yellow, orange and red--it just glows!
Sugarbush Mittens are knit in a wooly worsted weight yarn at a fairly snug gauge, proof against bitter winter winds! The thumb gusset is placed just to the edge of the palm, giving a comfortable ergonomic fit with no twisting of the pattern.
Each size is fully charted.
SIZES:
Adult Small (Medium)
Additional sizes can easily be made by adjusting the gauge and/or using yarns of different weights. The length is also easily adjusted.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
Circumference: 7.3 (8) inches
Length: 10 (11.5) inches
Fits: hands measuring up to 8 (9) inches in circumference.
Changes to gauge or yarn weight, or adding length, may require extra yarn.
GAUGE: 22 sts and 24 rnds = 4”/10cm on gauge size needles (over blocked colorwork pattern).
NEEDLES:
US 5 (3.75mm) or size needed to obtain gauge
US 4 (3.5mm) or one size smaller than gauge needle
Choose needle types base on your preferred method of working small circumferences in the round. Options include magic-loop on a 32-inch circular needle, DPNs, or 2 24-inch circular needles.
YARN: Amounts (using suggested yarn--Harrisville WATERshed):
Eastview--full skein (~100 yards)
Spoonwood, Monarch, Barn Door, Elm--approximately 50 yards each, or about 1/2 skein each.
NOTIONS: 2 stitch markers, a length of smooth yarn for a holder, tapestry needle
SKILLS USED: working in the round, decreases (k2tog, ssk), increases (M1, M1L, M1R), using a chart, 2-color colorwork, picking up stitches
