Please say a sweet welcome to Merrymeeting Mitts!
Knit on size 5 dpns, these mitts are made with worsted weight yarn to help keep your hands toasty warm in the winter time. But you can wear them in the fall and spring as well, thanks to the open fingers and thumbs!
Perfect for newbie knitters, there is very minimal shaping, no thumb ribbing to pick up after the hand is made, and simple 2x2 ribbing at each end to ensure these mitts will fit just about anyone you gift them to.
Materials Needed:
- One skein Lion Brand Wool-Ease (80% acrylic, 20% wool; 197 yards / 180 meters per 85 grams)
- One set size US 5 / 3.75 mm needles
- Darning needle
5 sts x 6 rows = 1” in stockinette stitch
Finished Measurements:
Small (medium, large) = 6 (7, 8)” around palm

I love mitts - these look cute and simple. Did you use an entire skein of yarn?
ReplyDeleteI have a sketchbook full of designs I wanna try to knit, but I've never really knitted anything without following a pattern except socks. Did you teach yourself how to write patterns? Or is there a website/book/... that you can recommend for getting started on 'designing' patterns?
less than one skein, but not enough to make two pair, unfortunately!
Deletei actually just started writing down some of the stuff i was knitting. when i started to knit, i didn't follow patterns for the most part, and so as my skill set grew i just wrote down what i was doing. i'm sure you can find resources for writing patterns online, i just haven't ever thought to.
as a result, my patterns are not as professionally done as many others, but i'm okay with that!
I'm such a newbie that even this is beyond me. But one day soon.....
ReplyDeleteAh, I think making these is how I first found your blog! I have one mitt done and one to redo. Maybe I can finish those off, one year later.
