Knitted Mitten/Mitt Pattern:
I love the look of a simple colorwork pattern, but as someone with small hands, but long fingers, many mitten patterns didn’t fit me well. It was out of this desire that these mittens were born. I decided to make them two sizes, one for my size (small) and one size up (medium). If you have larger hands you can go up 1-2 needle sizes to get a bigger mitten. If using a non-superwash wool, they will look good at that gauge as well.
The sample mitten (gold and cream) was knit size as a small, and the sample mitt (tan and blue) was knit as a size medium.
The thumb is an afterthought thumb, worked with waste yarn. Stitches are later picked up on the top and bottom of waste yarn placement. After thumb placement, follow instructions for either mitts or mittens.
Small (Medium)
7.25 (7.75)” hand circumference to fit with 0.25” negative ease.
5 (5.5)” base of thumb to finger tips
2.4 (2.6)” base of thumb to thumb tip
191-275 yards of MC and 191-275 yards of CC fingering weight yarn
Sample mittens used Rauma Finull PT2 in 4125 Gold Heather (MC) and 401 Natural (CC); mitts used Brooklyn Tweed Loft in Woodsmoke (MC) and Tartan (CC).
