Yarn: One ball Debbie Bliss Como = 42m
Needles: 10mm / US 15 needles
Gauge: 10 stitches = 4'' in stocking stitch
Size: One size, 15cm x 20cm circumference
Notation:
k = knit
p = purl
p = purl
CO = cast on
Directions:
Mitts (Makes 2):
Tip: I knitted both mitts at the same time using yarn from the outside and from the centre of the ball of yarn so that I could get them as long as possible with one skein. Feel free not to do this though!
CO 19 stitches. Work every row as follows:
k1 p1 *k2 p1* to last two stitches, k2.
When mitts are 15cm long (or as long as desired) bind off. Sew the two edges together leaving a hole for the thumb. Weave in loose ends.

Thank you! Hehe, yeah they took about an hour to make, super quick!
ReplyDeleteIf I wanted to use size 8 (US) needles instead, how may stitches would I need to cast on and would the rest of the pattern be the same as above?
ReplyDeleteHi Silpionelf,
ReplyDeleteI would say you'd need about twice as many stitches. I would try casting on 37 and after a bit try stretching it around your hand to see how it fits. The rest of the pattern would be exactly the same.
Thanks very much for the question!
Great thanks! :) I'll try it out...now to pick the color hehe.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, let me know how you get on!
ReplyDeleteOh how cute! I love typing-perfect mitts! I would love to link to these if you didn't mind.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel! Of course I wouldn't mind!
ReplyDeleteYay- thanks so much! I'll be linking in my Sunday's Knitting Roundup. I think I'll make myself a pair too! I'm really enjoying your blog.

Any recommendations for adjusting this for a child-size hand? Am I better off with fewer repeats or smaller needles/yarn?
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for your question! Probably a bit of both, especially if it's a younger child. I would probably go down to an aran weight yarn, it'll still be chunky, but it won't drown a child's hand. If you pick a yarn, let me know your gauge in the pattern and the circumference (approx) of the child's hand I could give you a more exact number of stitches to cast on if you want?
DeleteHi, I am a beginner knitter. I would like to use size 13 needles (US) instead. How many stitches would I need to cast on? Big thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Sonini, try casting on 16 stitches and see how that works. That might still be a bit big (it's hard to know for sure because everyone knits a little differently). I would knit for a few inches and see if the knitting will stretch round your hand for a good fit. If it's too big, I would try 13 stitches, but if it's a bit small I would try 19 stitches. Hope that helps! If you have any other questions please let me know!
DeleteLove these! Perfect for a funky chic office look and keeps my wrist really comfortable when typing!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like them! Thanks for commenting
DeleteI knit for a charity supporting the homeless, these are perfect, fast, stash busting and practical! Going to use 6mm needles and double up my double knit wool. So think I will double your stitches too and see how that works out.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, so glad to hear you're using my pattern for such a good cause! Thanks for your comment!
DeleteThank you VERY much for this pattern! It is easy, quick and look lovely!
ReplyDeleteI have made at 7 pairs in the last month ... some for the upcoming Mother's Day stall at my children's school, a pair for my nephew, a pair each for 2 friends and two pairs for my grandmother ... and I still have quite a few more people that have asked for some but I need a break! I have used size 7 needles, 8ply yarn and 40 stitches for adults 37 stitches for children.
My grandmother, who has been knitting for over 70 years, was very impressed and has asked for the pattern ..... not sure if I want to let out my secret ;-)
I'm so glad you like it! It's so nice as a designer to hear that so many people are wearing and enjoying the results of your pattern. Thanks so much for commenting, you've brightened up my day!
DeleteI've just spun up a bulky corespun yarn that I had to ply to get the twist to even out and this will be the perfect pattern for it. Thanks for the pattern!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, love corespun yarn! Are you on Ravelry? Would love to see pictures of them when they're done!

DeleteDo you have to use the yarn that is said in the instructions i only have purple fuel 20ply wool is t that oky to use?
ReplyDeletewhich also is 50m/50g and the gouge i thing or what ever its called is 14 rows and 10sts
DeleteHey, thanks for your questions! They might be a little tight if it's 14 stitches to 4". You could try using bigger needles though. The pattern gauge is 10 stitches to 4" so that's what you're aiming for.
Deletehow do i make this pattern with worsted weight yarn? I'm a beginner so plz help me!!! >-<

DeleteHi!
DeleteI would try casting on 28 and after a bit try stretching it around your hand to see how it fits. The rest of the pattern would be exactly the same.
Thanks very much for the question!

ReplyDeleteHii. I have chunky yarn. 10x10 cm would be 12 rows and 9 stitches. I have 10mm needles. How many cast on stitches would I need?
ReplyDeleteI knitted these in an hour or two this evening. Having used your tip of knitting both together using the outer and inner ends of the yarn I manage to reach about 18cm before needing to cast off and was impressed to have practically zero waste. 48m of yarn. 100% acrylic as I am vegan. Thank you so much for the free pattern! I will be knitting this again for sure!
ReplyDeleteThese are ideal for Christmas presents and thank you so much for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI would like to use 6 mm /size 10 needles and chunky yard for a women's hand warmer. How many stitches would you recommend I cast on?
ReplyDeleteI loved this pattern and even made a matching scarf!
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is amazing! Super easy and super cute thanks so much <3
ReplyDeleteHi I’ve got some chienell wool I want to make them for a child can you tell me how many stitches I need please and the length I’m working on size eight needles many thanks
ReplyDeleteThey were much too wide for my wrists, which i probalby should have realised soon, but im new to knitting again. I did finally get to use a lovely spool of wool i've had for years, and i can sew them lenghtways, it changes th pattern a bit but my wrists will be warm. very important now that i'm working from home and get to fully eppreciate a home with no heating in winter :) thank you for this quick and easy pattern
ReplyDeletePretty. Trying to find some small projects for some remaining chunky wool I have.
