An Easy Pair Of Mittens To Knit

The mittens are easy to knit, as this pattern is an easy level knitting pattern with advanced beginner knitters in mind.

Using knit and purl stitches, you will create ribbing, for the cuff, knit in the round and it will also introduce you to decreasing and shaping.

The pattern and photo tutorial below (there are photographs of the steps) will help you to create your mittens in no time at all, even if you are a fairly new knitter.

The Yarn + Needles I Used…

I made the mittens using size 4 mm (US 6) circular knitting needles.

I used a 16-inch cable as I did not have a smaller cable available.

This means I used the magic loop technique to knit the mittens in the round.

I used two yarns;

  • La Mia Just Wool 50g/116m in Lt008 Smoked Grey for the cuff.
  • Rico Baby Teddy Aran 50g/145m in 024 Dark Grey for the mitten.

The Teddy Aran yarn is quite difficult to work with, as you may know if you have ever knit with textured yarns before, but it is an extremely soft yarn.

If you drop stitches it can be very hard to fix – so maybe better to just stitch any holes that you can see.

If you do see any gaps or holes when you finish the mittens, stitch them up and you will not see them!

  1. Hi Louise! Firstly, Merry Christmas and a truly blessed 2021! I just love your blog and the way you approach life as a creative online presence. Thank you for all your patterns and inspiration. I also love being creative, and always have knitting, crochet, and my acrylic painting on the go. I live in South Africa and to help people attain financial independence I offer free skills training. Your patterns are a great help. So thank you! By the way…whenever I work with a textured wool, I use a thin 2, 3, or 4 ply with just to help me keep my stitch count, and it somehow makes it easier. Hope this helps! Best regards to Fotis and Jadon for helping you make a truly great blog!
