My second free pattern, designed to help you use up oddments from stash, is for full mittens with gussetted thumb and an interesting ribbed cuff. This pattern was part of my Love Your Stash Challenge for 2019, in which I aimed to use yarn from stash for a series of simple accessories.
It is knit from the finger tip to the cuff, incorporating the pre-knitted thumb as you go, and uses any standard sock yarn.
You will need:
Any standard sock yarn (I used Regia for the sample , but West Yorkshire Spinners Signature Sock would also be a good choice). If you only have small quantities of multiple different sock yarns, use them up by randomly striping, or use different colours for the thumbs, cuff, or finger tips.
Your choice of circular needles or dpns (or AddiCraSyTrio Sock needles!) in the following sizes:
2.00 mm [UK/Canada size 10, US size 3]
2.25 mm [UK/Canada size 11, US size 2.5]
Stitch markers
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Waste yarn
The PDF version of the free pattern can be downloaded from the Payhip Granary Knits Pattern Store. Have a look through your stash, gather your tools together, and happy knitting!
