Quiver Mitts

Quiver Mitts offer a subtle chevron texture in a simple broken rib pattern. No cables or twisted stitches—just knits and purls.

I’ve designed these mitts with options. Decide whether you’d like fingerless mitts, full-length mittens, or convertible fingerless mitts. You can even choose from three types of afterthought thumbs—“fingerless,” closed, or convertible. Knit from a smooth, worsted weight wool, these mitts work up quickly when you need a gift by the end of the week or if chilly weather sneaks up on you.

I chose the name “Quiver Mitts” for a few reasons. The chevrons begin as regular 2x2 ribbing but quickly start to quiver along the hand. Second, when I’m cold, my teeth chatter and my voice quivers; the chevron is similar to the shape of a sound wave. Finally, the chevron can look like arrows pointing one way or another, and a quiver is a case that holds arrows for hunting. Whichever quiver you prefer, you’ll be right on target to have cozy hands that are in style.
