Midcentury Mitts

From $14.75

Kits are sold out. The Midcentury Mitts are a quick and lovely colorwork project reminiscent of the geometric designs of the 1950s. In a custom-created pallet of gorgeous colors from our friends at Sew Happy Jane, you won't want to put them down. This workshop-style project contains everything you need from cast on to bind off, including extra videos that show how to weave in ends while knitting without the use of a tapestry needle so you can truly earn your Yarn Whisperer Badge! Size and Fit: Because of the large motif, grading for these mitts is accomplished by changing gauge. The Smaller Size is knit on US 1.5/2.5 mm needles and yields a mitt that is about 7"/17.5 cm in circumference. The Larger Size is knit on US 2.5/3 mm, and yields a mitt of about 8"/20 cm in circumference. For those needing even more positive ease, these mitts can also be knit on US 3/3.25 mm needles for a 8.5-9"/21.5-22.5 cm circumference. Construction Notes: These mitts are written for Magic Loop with a long circular needle, and you can easily substitute your favorite method for small circumferences. Because the mitts are such a quick knit, we recommend for this pattern only that rather than swatching, you cast on the first mitt, knit a few inches, and check gauge. These mitts are worked from the wrist up. Increases are used to create the thumb gusset, then the thumb stitches are bound off and decreases snug up the thumb hole. You'll love how quickly the mitts fly off your needles! For right handed knitters, the first mitt will be the left mitt, for lefty mirror knitters, the first mitt will be the right mitt.

About the Designer: Saysha Greene has been a maker all her life, often making up her own patterns but never thinking of that as designing. It was only after retiring from a technology career that she realized design was something she was capable of and, in fact, had been doing all her life. "I’ve always had some form of creative expression that I could turn to and that includes my time designing and building technology solutions. It is a part of my life that I hope to always have. I love that knitwear design and knitting offers me endless opportunities to learn and grow in this craft." Follow her on Instagram @insayshable.knits.
