Thanksgiving Day Mitts

Nov 26th, 2007 by jennie

Ask and you shall receive:

THANKSGIVING DAY MITTS

Materials:

less than a skein of worsted weight (I used a mystery wool similar to Cascade 220)

3.75 mm, US 5 dpns or needles required for preferred method of knitting in the round

Cable Needle (although I highly suggest cabling without one)

Tapestry Needle

Gauge:

Because these mitts are ribbed, gauge is not terribly important. Mine were knit at approximately 20 st/3 in. in *unstretched* rib. The row gauge, however, matters more. These were knit at 8 st/in.

Abbreviations:

k: Knit

p: Purl

BO: Bind off

CO: Cast on

C4F: Cable 4 front — slip two stitches onto cable needle; hold cable needle in front; knit next two stitches on needle; knit two stitches off cable needle.

C4B: Cable 4 back — slip two stitches onto cable needle; hold cable needle in back; knit next two stitches on needle; knit two stitches off cable needle.

Directions:

RIGHT MITT:

CO 40 sts

Rows 1-20: [k4, p1] to end (8 times) {total of 20 rows}

Row 21: [C4B, p1, k4, p1] to end (4 times)

Rows 22-25: [k4, p1] to end (8 times)

Row 26: [k4, p1, C4F, p1] to end (4 times)

Rows 27-30: [k4, p1] to end (8 times)

Repeat Rows 21-30 once more

Row 41: [C4B, p1, k4, p1] to end (4 times)

Rows 42-62: [k4, p1] to end (8 times) {total of 20 rows}

Row 63: [k4, p1] 2 times, k3, BO 6 sts, p1, [k4, p1] 4 times

Row 64: [k4, p1] 2 times, k3, CO 6 sts, p1, [k4, p1] 4 times

Row 65-74: [k4, p1] to end (8 times) {total of 10 rows}

Row 75: BO all sts

FOR LEFT MITT:

Repeat pattern as above. For mirrored cables (as shown above), change all C4B to C4F (and visa versa).

Block if desired.

I saw your comment at Yarnstorm. I don’t know where you live in the U.S. I buy Yorkshire Gold tea from Jungle Jim’s near Cincinnati, Ohio.

Those are really lovely! The yarn reminds me very much of the Cascade 220 I used for my Dashing mitts and Tweed Beret.

Those are very cute mitts!! I love the cables (I’m a bit cable obsessed right now).

Thanks for the pattern!

Hey Jennie,

I LOVE these mitts! Thanks for your advice. I am definately going to try them before the fetching pattern. I have never used DPNs before and I bought a set of 4, so would I just CO 10 stitches on each needle?? Hopefully I’ll get the hang of it.

Hope to see you at Art Shop this weekend!
