January is National Knit Mittens Month! The goal is knit (or finish knitting) a pair of mittens or gloves during the month. The I Make Mittens group on Ravelry is hosting the KAL this year and there are prizes!
There are so many great mitten patterns out there to try, but I’d of course like to recommend one of our free patterns….
1. April Showers Mittens 2. Art Deco Mittens 3. Corgi Mittens (charts are available for other dogs too) 4. Delft Mittens
5. Dog Days Mittens 6. Falling Leaves Mittens 7. February Lady Mittens 8. Flying Pig Mittens
9. Frozen Mittens (adult and child sized) 10. Goldy Gopher Mittens 11. Go Team Mittens (men’s) 12. Go Team Mittens (women’s)
13. January Mittens 14. May Flowers Mittens 15. Newgrange Mittens 16. Orla Mittens
17. Sunset Stripes Mittens 18. Sweetheart Mittens 19. Winchester Plaid, Anti-Possession Mittens 20. Winter Skies Mittens
I need to knit up another pair of Newgrange Mittens this month as a sample for some mitten kits that are coming out in February. (That’s right, more mitten kits!) But, I am also going to try to design and knit up a pair of mittens with this beautiful hand-painted yarn I got in Melk, Austria.
I’m thinking of doing something based on the embroidery in Austrian folk costumes, so stay tuned.
