Quathiaski Mitts: Cozy Fingerless Knitting Pattern

Stay warm and stylish with our Quathiaski Mitts, the ultimate fingerless mittens perfect for combating chilly hands while riding the ferry to Quathiaski Cove (QCove) on Quadra Island from Vancouver Island, no matter the season. These cozy mitts are designed to keep your hands snug while allowing your fingers the freedom to move, making them ideal for outdoor adventures or everyday wear.

These versatile fingerless mitts are crafted in one size and are worked in the round from the wrist to the fingertips. The pattern ingeniously utilizes yarn overs (y/o's) for thumb shaping increases, ensuring a comfortable fit. The body of the mitts features a delightful combination of knit and purl stitches that create a beautiful texture, while the trim showcases an elegant design. Featuring a 6-row main color (MC) and 2-row contrasting color (CC) repeating stripe pattern, this stylish detail is carried throughout the mitts, including the thumb for a cohesive look. Both the start and finish, as well as the thumb edge, feature a clean 2-row purled edge, adding to the professional finish of your project. Plus, there’s no sewing required—just weave in the ends when you're done!

When using the recommended yarn (just 2 skeins in total), you'll have enough to create two pairs of delightful mitts, each with opposite MC and CC combinations. This makes the Quathiaski Mitts a perfect gift idea—knit a pair for yourself and a matching pair for a friend! Be sure to check out the included instructions for creating Jogless Stripes, ensuring your stripes look perfect and seamless.

Enjoy the warmth and charm of your new fingerless mitts, and embrace the cozy moments that come with handmade knitwear!
