Love, love, love this pattern! Did I mention that I loved this pattern?
The pattern is called Susie’s Reading Mitts and they are a wonderfully written pattern that I would recommend for everyone!! The best part is that they look a little fancy and complicated but they are far from.
Used Paton’s Classic Wool, only about half a skein from what I could tell.
This is also the fist time turning a hem for me, which I was worried about until I did it- it is just an easy and effective way to make the ends of the mitts look nice without ribbing.
These were such a quick knit that they practically fell off the needles as soon as I casted on!
There was only one modification that I made, instead of seaming the hems after, I knitted them together with the appropriate row (I really do despise seaming)
There will be more of these in my future, I just sense it. 🙂
Very nice, I may need to try these!
I can vouch for the EASE of making. I am fairly new to knitting and yet made TWO pair immediately. (One using a leftover sock yarn – and then using alpaca.) I seamed after completing.
Thanks for recommending them!
I admit that they do look gorgeous – but – why would one need mittens to read?
because we live in Wisconsin where it is cold and I prefer warm hands when I am reading 🙂
WoW! they look magnificent!
