Holding Hands

SEE HOLDING HANDS ON RAVELRY

These mittens were designed for Making Stories & Friends Winter 2018. The brief was to create a pattern with three style options using garter stitch and stockinette.

“Our friend Claire Walls took this desire and molded it into the three variations of her pattern: One is a classic mitten, another a pair of fingerless gloves, and the third a mix of both with a removable buttoned flap.

A thumb gusset, two cuff lengths, and a swath of garter stitch ensure that no matter which variation you knit, they‘ll fit you perfectly and will keep your hands toasty warm all winter long.”
