I made this mismatched pair of mittens for my granddaughter in '06 (this is an old pic, but they still look pretty good, if a little worn and well-loved). This week's pattern and chart is for the Snowman mitten. Next week's will be the snowflake mitten. These mittens are the same on the front and back, so you can make a pair of either, or replicate my mis-mated pair. If you want to make them shorter, begin the top decreases a little earlier (it won't mess up the snowman heads too much). If you want to make them longer, do a few rows of the vertical striped top before beginning the decreases. If you want to make them wider, add a few stitches to either side of the chart (the same number on both sides) and do a few more increases on the thumb gusset. If you want to make them Adult size, I suspect using DK yarn and size 3 needles will do the trick. This chart was adapted from a Seasonal Vest pattern that I did for Knit Picks. That pattern is now out of print, and the rights reverted to me. Click on the pattern pages to enlarge, right click to save as jpgs. Print from any graphics program.

These timeless Nordic style mittens were hand knit in the USA using traditional patterns and techniques. I use double pointed needles and cozy woolen yarn just like they did hundreds of years ago. The stranded knitting technique that brings the patterns to life also makes the mittens extra warm. As the two yarns intertwine they create air pockets that trap body heat. Its no wonder why this type of knitting is popular in some of the coldest places on earth! Mittens measure 4 inches across the hand and 10-1/2 inches from fingertips to the bottom of the embellished cuff.l Sized for women's size M. Hand wash, lay flat to dry.

FINALLY, responsibly sourced seafood straight from your knitting bag. The Fishkins mittens are a cheerful nod to all things seafood. Part knitting, part meal, part puppet; these mittens will provide many hours of entertainment, and no actual nourishment (except for your soul…giggles feed the soul). This stranded colorwork pattern is sized for TODDLERS, KIDDOS, and ADULTS who love the sea (and bizarrely specific creature knitting). This pattern includes instructions for creating one FISH mitten and one WATER mitten, so there is no second mitten syndrome! These mittens are happy and whimsical with endless color possibilities. In fact, I have included a Fish mitten coloring sheet in this pattern for your menu planning needs.

These stranded mittens feature two different motifs and can be worn with either side on the tops of your hands. For ease of working, the pattern refers to a specific Left and Right Mitten, though the fit is interchangeable depending on which side you feel like wearing “up”. Latvian braids centered over the ribbed cuff add a unique detail to this classic mitten shape with a side-gore thumb. Designer: Leila Raven Collection: Loft Launch

If you're a geek with chilly fingers, then Sweden based knitwear designer and charity organizer Therese Sharp has almost certainly come up with a knitting pattern for a pair of mittens that are right up your alley.

In Allover, Kate Davies has gathered together a colourful collection to capture the joy of stranded knitting. Inside this book you’ll find fourteen designs that are bold, playful and eclectic. Influenced by northern colourwork traditions from Norway and Sweden to Iceland and Shetland, there are fourteen allover designs to choose from, including graphic hats and mitts and cosy yoke pullovers and cardigans. In Starnkeeker, the familiar monochrome motifs of Selbu accessories are adapted for a colour-blocked Argyle vest, while the Tìoraidh cardigan reveals how a small “filler” motif might become a two-tone pattern’s main attraction. Kate encourages you to mix things up as well: many of the patterns are charted and photographed in several different colourways in patterns that are full of knitterly inspiration and opportunities for play. Whether you are whipping up a jolly pair of Pouzles, or taking your time over a show-stopping piece like Schene, there’s much creative joy to be found in the pages of this colourful book.. 112pp. Designed and printed here in Scotland.  Språk är engelska.

Bee Creative Mittens Wie bereits auf den Bee Creative Socks dürfen die Bienen jetzt auch auf diesen fingerlosen Handschuhen fliegen.

Es können alle Garne in Sockenwolle-Stärke verwendet werden mit einer Lauflänge von 320 - 400 m/ 100 g. Ich habe das klassische Sockengarn arwetta von filcolana und handgefärbtes Verlaufs-Garn von Anja Junginger verstrickt. ENGLISH ** Bee Creative Mittens ** As on the Bee Creative Socks, the bees now also can fly on these fingerless gloves. This is how we catch spring and summer in entertaining knitting lessons.
