The Pin Mill Mitts are part of the Easy Everyday Wearables ebook, a collection of garments and accessories that use simple shaping, basic stitches and easy techniques with tutorials to assist you to create beautiful wardrobe staples.

Mitts need to be nice and stretchy to be comfortable with a lovely long cuff to keep chills at bay. You’ll be glad you took the time to work the longer cuff, make them as long as you can, your future winter self will thank you for it. This pair holds two yarns together to give a beautiful halo effect with the mohair but the mitts can be made with a single strand of DK weight yarn instead.

Size
S (M, L)
To fit hand circumference up to: 18 (21, 25)cm/7(8.5, 10)in

Depending how you feel comfortable wearing mitts you can choose a size that is a little larger or smaller than the size measured around the top of your palm (above the thumb) see tension notes
for the stretch. Instructions are given for making larger or smaller mitts.

Materials
1 100g skein Fyberspates Vivacious 4ply (4ply weight, 100% superwash Merino, 365m/399yds/100g) in Pebble Beach (614)

Tension
21 sts and 16 rows in 3dc clusters to 10cm/4in using
4.5mm hook (or size needed to achieve tension).
This stitch is very stretchy and stretches to 15 sts and 20 rows in pattern to 10cm/4in.
As the mitt is small we recommend starting it and checking the tension once you have worked part of the cuff.

Skills Needed
Basic crochet stitches, working in the round without turning, missing stitches, working multiple stitches in the same place.

Construction
Worked in the round without turning from the cuff up, worked in a spiral amigurumi style, stitches are missed to create the thumb.
