Sequoia Fingerless Mitts by Yarn Has My Heart
What is Being Made
The Sequoia Fingerless Mitts are an original unisex design created by Yarn Has My Heart. These mitts are fingerless gloves that provide warmth to the hands and wrists while leaving the fingers free for dexterity and tactile work. The pattern is available in three sizes to accommodate a variety of hand dimensions, making it a versatile accessory for different wearers.
Construction Method and Techniques
The Sequoia Fingerless Mitts are worked in the round from the bottom up, a construction technique that creates seamless, tubular fabric ideal for fitted garments like gloves and mitts. The pattern features a thumb gusset that is strategically placed and separated during the main knitting process, then finished as a separate element after the primary section is bound off. This approach allows for a custom-fitted thumb opening while maintaining the overall structure of the mitt.
The pattern includes helpful design flexibility: knitters can increase or decrease the number of wrist and hand rows to customize the length for a longer or shorter fit, accommodating personal preference and hand proportions. Careful tracking of both the main pattern row and the cable pattern row is essential for successful completion.
Stitches and Stitch Details
The Sequoia Fingerless Mitts incorporate cable stitches as a design element, requiring the use of a cable needle during construction. The pattern is written with stitch counts provided in brackets after each increase round, allowing knitters to verify their progress and maintain accuracy throughout the project. The gauge is established at 18 stitches and 28 rows over 4 inches in the pattern stitch, which is important for achieving the correct finished dimensions.
Materials and Tools Required
This downloadable PDF pattern calls for worsted weight yarn, with the example shown using one skein of The Fiber Seed Sprout Worsted in the Rock Creek colorway for the smallest size. Knitters will need US 7 (4.5 mm) and US 6 (4.0 mm) double-pointed needles (dpns) for working in the round, a cable needle for the cable stitch sections, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and scissors for finishing. The pattern uses an X notation to indicate when a particular stitch count does not apply to certain sizes.
Skill Level
The Sequoia Fingerless Mitts are rated as an Intermediate difficulty pattern, making them suitable for knitters with some experience who are comfortable working in the round with double-pointed needles and managing cable stitches.
