Product Details

These fingering weight mitts were originally created for a craft collaboration with Lady Dye Yarns, Boston using mini skeins specially dyed for the collaborsation. They're a great stashbuster project as each pair takes just 182m (200 yds) of each colour (for the 2 colour version shown here) but they'd also look great in a single colour for which you'll need 365m (400yds) of your favourite fingering weight yarn.

The mitts are knitted in a clever combination of slip stitches, stripes and short rows that create bold slanting bands of colour on the back of the hand when they’re worn.

Each mitt begins with a provisional crochet cast on and is worked flat in rows (on a circular needle) before the first and last rows are grafted to join at the side of the hand using Kitchener stitch. Working in slip stitches creates a dense, warm fabric and to balance this, the edges are finished with a simple k1, p1 rib worked with the fingering yarn held double.

Notes
You'll also need a small amount of fingering weight waste yarn for working provisional cast on - preferably a smooth yarn which is easier to remove
