Out of the need to de-stash, these mitts were born. I love this project because it really doesn’t take much yarn at all. If you’re super short on yardage, why not use up 3, 4, 5 colors at once?

These fingerless mitts are knit in the round with a basic colorwork pattern alternating with solid stripes of color. This pattern is highly customizable and can be knit up with any worsted or aran weight yarn.

Materials:

90 yds. of main color (MC) worsted weight yarn
40 yds. of contrasting color (CC) worsted weight yarn
Size 7 double pointed needled.

Notes:

• Blocking these mitts will quickly smooth out any bumps and inconsistencies that may occur.

• You can easily make bigger or smaller mitts by adding or subtracting CO stitches. Just make sure you start with an even number.

• Optional finishing: work 1 round of slip stitch crochet around the thumb hole
