ABOUT THIS PATTERN:

The Basic Soft DK Mitts are a versatile and practical knitting pattern for fingerless mitts aimed at knitting enthusiasts of all experience levels. The variety of sizes included in the pattern - from toddler to adult - makes this pattern an excellent choice for family projects or for knitting matching sets for friends and family.

The DK yarn used not only gives the mitts extra warmth, but also allows for faster knitting. This makes them ideal for urgent projects or as a spontaneous gift. Despite the thicker yarn, the mitts remain flexible and comfortable, perfect for everyday use in the cooler seasons.

Beginners will appreciate the clear structure and simple instructions, while experienced knitters will have the opportunity to experiment with different yarn colours and textures.

The Basic Soft DK Mitts combine style with functionality and are an excellent choice both as a practical accessory for personal use and as a loving gift. Hand-dyed Schibot Garne yarns in DK weight are used to create fingerless mitts that are not only visually appealing, but also wonderful to wear - a perfect addition to any autumn and winter wardrobe.
