These mitts will complete your trio of Tiny Boats accessories! The intricate-looking pattern is deceptively simple to knit. Only one color is worked per round; no need to carry two strands of yarn at once.

Knit at a slightly firmer gauge than the matching hat and cowl—you’ll love the way these mitts hug your hands and keep out the cold. The pattern includes instructions for optional short rows to create a shaped mitt that’s longer on the index finger side of the mitt, and shorter on the pinky side, following the contour of your fingers. Yardage requirements are low, so have fun mixing and matching your boat color combinations.

164 yd [150 m] per 50g skein. Shown in Sgeir/Haar and Peaty Brown/Haar colorways.

MC: 91 (101, 111, 121) yds [83 (92, 102, 111) m]

Note: If substituting yarn, look for a sport weight or light DK. If using a true fingering weight yarn, go up a pattern size, and down in gauge to get your desired fabric and mitt size. Fingering weight yarn will require approximately 10% more yardage than the above estimate.
