Linea Mittens

The Linea Mittens are characterized by their beautiful graphic pattern with clean lines that run elegantly along the hand. The vertical stripes create a calm and modern look, while also making them interesting to knit. Knit them in soft, discreet colors for a clean, minimalist style, or in more eye-catching shades to brighten up a cold winter day.

The mittens are knitted in our ultra-soft and luxurious Önling No 1, a yarn spun from the finest qualities, making your knit both exclusive and comfortable to wear. The yarn’s lightness and warmth make the Linea Mittens ideal for the cold months, when you need something cozy yet still light.

Procedure

The mittens are worked in the round from the wrist toward the fingers. They are knitted using the magic loop method, but can of course be worked on double-pointed needles if preferred. Begin with a two-color ribbed cuff. Continue following the chart across the hand, where stitches are set aside for the thumb and a thumb gusset is worked. After completing the thumb gusset, a piece of scrap yarn is knitted into the work, then continue according to the chart to the top of the mitten. Finally, stitches are picked up for the thumb, placed on the needle, and the thumb is finished.
