Angora mitts
I wanted to get a better picture, or at least a new one, but that’s probably not going to happen, so I’m just posting this as is.
These are some fabulous fingerless mitts I designed in the style of the Uptown Boot Socks from the Winter 2003 issue of Interweave Knits Magazine.
Size 7 double pointed needles
Gauge- 13 stitches over 3 inches of stockinette
2 skeins Elsebeth Lavold Angora
Cable Pattern-
(C4F means place 2 stitches on a cable needle, hold cable needle in front while knitting the next 2 stitches, then return and knit the two stitches from the cable needle).
Round 1: knit
Round 2: knit
Round 3: (C4F, knit 4) around, end with C4F
Round 4: knit
Round 5: knit
Round 6: knit
Round 7: (knit 4, C4F) around, end with knit 4
Round 8: knit
Cuff-
Cast on 36 stitches, 12 per needle
Join into round, knit 20 rows of 2×2 ribbing
Hand-
(knit 8, work 20 stitches in cable pattern, knit 8 ) for 28 rounds
round 29- knit 8, work 20 stitches in cable pattern, place next 7 stitches on waste yarn or stitch holder, cast on 7 stitches before knitting remaining 5 stitches to complete the round. This is now your right handed mitt.
Continue working hand stitches as before, until you have completed 43 rounds of the cable pattern.
Knit 5 rounds of 2×2 ribbing, bind off in rib pattern.
Thumb-
Put 7 held stitches back on a needle.
Pick up 8 stitches along the cast on edge behind the 7 held stitches.
With right side facing, begin knitting the 15 thumb stitches in stockinette stitch in the round, for 6 rounds.
On the first of the next 5 ribbing rounds, either decrease by 3 or increase by 1 stitch to get the 12 or 16 stitches you’d need to knit 2×2 ribbing.
Knit 5 rounds of 2×2 ribbing, bind off in rib pattern.
Weave in ends.
Repeat for the left glove working the thumb on the opposite side.
