Hudson Ripple Mitts

The Hudson Ripple Mitts are fingerless and full-length textured mitts featuring the waves and contours of the stitch pattern used in the both the Hudson Ripple shawl and hat designs. They are fun and quick to knit and are great for using up that left over yarn from its sister hat project.

Worked from the cuff-up in the round, these mitts are available in three sizes - small, medium, and large.

They are packed with fun techniques including Tubular cast-on and bind off. If you don’t want to graft the full-length mitten, choose a 3-needle bind off instead.
