Floyd Mitts

These mitts are knit in the round using magic loop. Both mitts are knit the exact same, meaning the front and back of the mitts are the same.

I wanted a nice simple mitt that uses sport weight yarn that was equally easy to knit and easy to wear. Great for self-striping or solid yarns. Hope you enjoy these mitts as much as I do.

Self-striping sample was knit size large with 50g Must Stash Yarns Sport ‘Dark Side EPV’. Solid sample was knit size small with 38g Woolberry Fiber Co Sport ‘It’s Bred’.
