Hourglass Fall Mitts
These are the matching mitts for the Hourglass Fall Headband. and the Hourglass Fall Boot Toppers. They, too, are the perfect accessory for those fall evening when you want a little something covering your hands but not full blown mittens. Made from sport weight yarn, it only takes 140 yd/128m to complete both mitts so is a perfect stash buster and would make a wonderful gift for all of your friends!
These mitts do not have a thunb gusset. Instead, a thumb opening is created by switching between circular knitting and flat knitting. Because these are not meant to be a cold weather accessory, this opening allows for a good fit, keeping the mitt in place without the need for complicated thumb shaping.
The hourglass cable is a unisex stitch pattern so works no matter who you knit for. Mitts meausre 8”/20 cm circumference around the palm unstretched but comfortably stretches to fit up to 11”/28 cm (thank you, dear husband!) and they are 8.5”/21 cm long but could easily be made longer or shorter by working more or fewer repeats of the 16 row pattern.
Gauge: 32 sts/38 r = 4”/10 cm in stockinette.
