Gauge
Accessory or gift, these mitts are a reason to buy just one ball of
those exquisite blended yarns and knit something useful. A pair
can be made with yarn left over (as per photos).
Construction
The mitts are worked in the round on DPNs. The tight gauge
ensures stitch definition and a firmer fabric. The chart and written
instructions ask you to start at the wrist in ribbing and to increase
stitches (two per round) until there are enough for the base of
the thumb. In both examples 18 stitches was enough to then

This is a tight gauge. Both yarns are

blends and have very little wool in
them. The Super Kid-Silk has a
tendency to spread and drape, so
keeping it firm meant tightening up
the gauge. The Zealana Kiwi is
cotton rich with a possum/merino
blend; it too requires a firm gauge
for durability.

construct a thumb tube. I used three needles at this stage and finished with ribbing. The main
body of the mitt is also finished in ribbing once the desired length to the knuckles has been
achieved (approximately 10cm).
As these mitts are reversible, you are working each one the same way.
Design Possibilities
Should you wish to personalise these mitts with lace work or stranded colour work then by all
means do so, just be careful with gauge. You will also have to consider right hand or left hand
dominance when working the thumb gusset.

Important Note This chart does not show all stitches. It shows one side of the mitt. You will
need to mirror the chart along the right-hand edge to see all stitches. The thumb tube is added
to the side for illustration. Please note the row and column numbers do not match the thumbs
exact layout.
When knitting in the round using a chart, you are presented with a flat 2-d version of the
whole work. The stitch numbers will of course be doubled.

To Start;
Have cast-on stitches arranged in a circle on a circular needle and place markers equally
at front and back sections. **
Cast-on the 60 stitches using your

preferred method. Divide front and
back divisions using stitch-markers

A less fiddly way to start a project worked in-the-round, is to start on straight needles
working back and forth until all stitches are lining up smartly. This may take five rows or
so. You can then slip them onto a circular needle and join the round. At this stage you
put markers in to denote front and back divisions. The tail of the starting round is a
handy guide for the start of the work. The gap left by the straight knitting can be sewn
up once finished.

Finishing and Blocking

Weave in ends. Close up any awkward holes at the gusset by sewing into the knitted
fabric through stitches using a wool needle and left-over wool. Pull the fabric closed. Do
not knot the end of the wool weave the ends in and snip. If you started the work on
straight needles you will need to sew up the gap with using a wool needle and the tail of
the wool.
