Machine Knit Fly Me To the Moon Mitts

Classic style meets clever construction with the Fly Me to the Moon Fingerless Mitts. Designed for the LK150 (or any mid-gauge flatbed machine), these mitts are the perfect project for those looking to create a professional-looking accessory without needing a ribber.

These mitts feature a beautiful textured motif repeated three times across the back of each hand, created using hand transfers. The 2x2 cuffs at the top, bottom, and around the thumb give a snug, comfortable fit.

Construction Details:

This pattern is worked entirely flat on a single bed, meaning no ribber is required. The mitts are seamed partially, and the thumb area is shaped using short rows and decreases to ensure a superior fit compared to standard “tube” mitts.

Pattern Features:

-Machine: LK150 (6.5mm mid-gauge) or similar flat bed machine.

-No Ribber Needed: Uses 2x2 mock ribbing for a professional finish.

-Techniques: Hand transfers for the ribbing and motif, short row shaping for the thumb.
