As the leaves change to hues of gold and amber, and the air fills with the crisp scent of autumn, it’s the perfect time to embrace cozy crafting projects. What’s that on the ground, nestled among the fallen yellowed leaves? Could it be an apple glistening in the fading sunlight, or a tiny pumpkin ready for harvest? Let your imagination run wild as you explore this delightful pattern, tailored just for you!
This knitting pattern features both fingerless and regular mittens, designed to keep your hands warm while allowing for full dexterity. These mittens are knitted from the bottom-up in the round, seamlessly incorporating innovative techniques, including beautiful embroidery that mimics the look of duplicating knitted stitches for an intricate finish. Additionally, the mittens boast stylish corrugated ribbing at the cuffs, thumb, and tops of the hands, adding a unique flair to your finished project. The pattern comes with comprehensive, clear instructions, ensuring a smooth knitting experience, along with links to captioned video tutorials to guide you every step of the way.
Recommended Yarn:
For this project, use an Aran/Worsted weight yarn to achieve the desired look and warmth.
The sample mittens were beautifully knitted with Drops Nepal, a luxurious blend of 65% wool and 35% alpaca, offering both softness and durability. Each skein contains 150 m per 100 g/164 yds per 3.53 oz, and we used the shades #2920 Orange mix and #506 Dark Grey mix to create a stunning contrast.
Gauge:
To ensure your mittens fit perfectly, aim for a gauge of 19.4 stitches and 25 rounds in 10 cm/19.7 stitches and 25.4 rounds in 4” in stockinette stitch in the small round. Use needles of size 5 mm/US8/UK6 after wet blocking to achieve the best results.
