Wanderlust Mitts

This isn’t so much a pattern as it is a recipe for making simple fingerless mitts in any size using whatever yarn you please. It relies on a simple set of proportions that govern the shaping of a handcovering. So, unlike most patterns, there is no specific finished size, gauge, or yarn, and there is no recommended needle size. Starting with a swatch, you decide what fabric density and feel you want, and then you follow the worksheet to create your mitts!

These mitts are a beautiful opportunity to showcase a special skein of yarn. Use that skein of handspun you were given by a friend, or that souvenir skein of small-batch yarn you picked up at a fiber festival. Feel free to play with stripes of color in your mitts. Fingerless mitts can be a great stash-buster if you have small amounts of yarn left over from other projects.

The instructions for the mitts starts with a worksheet, which is included in the Wanderlust Mitts pattern. You knit a swatch, take a few measurments, and fill in the blanks. Sandi's simple process has you casting on in no time!
