Walpurgis Mitts by Cat in a Sweater

Walpurgis Mitts

This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download

These witchy mitts are released in celebration of Walpurgis Night, when the witches gather every year according to German legends.


These fingerless mitts are knitted bottom-up and the construction is fairly straightforward. However, a basic skill level of stranded colourwork is recommended.
You can use 2 or more colours.

Techniques used:
Twisted stitches (optional)
Stranded colourwork
Basic increases and decreases
I-cord bind off (optional)
Picking up stitches

The sizing of the mitts depends on the chosen gauge.
I used 2.5 mm needles (US 1.5) and got a gauge of 34 st. / 10 cm (4’’). This gives me a hand circumference of 19 cm (7.5’’).
To make bigger or smaller mitts, choose a different needle size to get a bigger or smaller gauge.
