This pattern is no longer available. We’d like to thank the talented Kate Atherley for writing this pattern to enhance our (now discontinued) exclusive line of yarns. Please visit Kate’s designer page to see all of her fantastic patterns!

Just about the warmest mitts you can make, worked in a double-stranded worsted weight yarn, with the addition of a bulky weight soft yarn to create a built-in lining. If you’ve ever wanted to try thrummed mittens but have been a little intimidated by how they’re made, this is a brilliant alternative. They’re just as warm and a little easier to make.

Written for DPNs, magic loop or two circs— use whichever you prefer.

Choose a size with finished circumference approx 1/2–1 in 1–2.5cm larger than the circumference of your hand, measured around the palm. For warmth, the mittens should be a little bigger than the hand wearing them—you want to trap warm air in there!

Our original combination of RCY Epic and Chunk-a-delic is discontinued. We’ve used these alternative yarns in the same amounts to great success.
