Are you dreaming of knitting a pair of mittens, but can't seem to find the perfect pattern? With our design tool, you can create your very own custom mitten knitting pattern. This is how it works:
CHOOSE THE SIZE
Our mitten patterns are available in a wide range of sizes, from baby to men's XL.
CHOOSE THE TYPE OF THUMB
- The traditional thumb: a simple and effective way of knitting thumbs without increasing for a gusset.
- The side thumb: worked with increases to shape a gusset inside the palm.
CHOOSE THE STRUCTURE OF THE MITTEN
- Stockinette
- 1x1 ribbing
- 2x2 ribbing
CHOOSE THE TYPE OF CUFF
- No cuff
- Single cuff
- Double cuff
CHOOSE THE TYPE OF STRUCTURE FOR THE CUFF
This choice follows your choice of mitten structure.
CHOOSE THE TYPE OF DECREASES
- Spiral: the easiest type of decreases.
- Flat: decreases are worked in each side and the top is closed by using Kitchener Stitch.
- Side: decreases are worked in each side all the way to the top.
ADD ANY YARN
You can use any yarn for your project. This kind of project does not acquire many grams of yarn, and is therefore the perfect opportunity to get use out of leftover yarn that you already have at home.
We recommend using woolly yarns, e.g. HipKnitShop Hip Wool, Drops Lima, Isager Aran Tweed, Sandnes Peer Gynt, Cascade 220.
As you can tell, there is a lot of room for creative freedom here! Knit the mittens of your dreams here ✨
