Thrummed mittens
This pattern is
available for
free
Years ago in England, the woolen mills would discard slubs of wool, called “thrums,” which knitters would gather and use in their mittens to add extra texture and warmth. This tradition was brought to Newfoundland by the settlers and after being almost forgotten for years, has been recently revived. (source: darktickle.com)
2021-11-02 : THIS PATTERN HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH A NEW PHOTO & VIDEO TUTORIAL NOW AVAILABLE ♥ There is no left and right mittens for this pattern: they are both worked identically. At first, you may feel a bit tight in the mitt, but the roving will eventually compress against the inside of the mitt and your mittens will become insulated and very warm!
.
In addition to the free knitting pattern, you will need the following material to knit your thrummed mittens:
