Twinkle Mitts

These pretty mitts are knitted in the round using the magic loop technique with a longish circular needle, but you could also knit them using a set of DPNs (double pointed needles) or 2 short circulars instead. I’ve used one of my favourite yarns too - Rowan Felted Tweed - I just love the rustic tweediness and that it’s a slightly finer than standard DK weight which is great for keeping your hands warm but without hindering your movements or dexterity. You can use any DK weight yarn but you will need to ensure it is wool rather than cotton as the resulting knitted fabric will need to have plenty of stretch.

One size to fit average female hand approximately 20cm (8in) circumference above thumb, designed to fit snuggly. Approximately 20cm (8in) long when laid flat which will become shorter when worn.
