The Design

“Soft & savvy!”

Cozily clever, these fingerless mitts—a free pattern—knit up in a jiffy! The knit two, purl one ribbing is worked in the round, interrupted only by the button-hole-style thumb opening. It’s easy to make these mitts as long as you like. And if you fancy a different look, simply turn them inside out—they’re entirely reversible!

We knit these Reversible Knitting Mitts in Quarry—a chunky-weight 100% wool yarn from Brooklyn Tweed. Inspired by roving-style yarns, Quarry is light and lofty, but has a little more strength and stitch definition. Warm and woolly, it softens nicely after hand-washing!
