Knitted Fingerless Mittens
Autumn has arrived and I have loved working with the newly launched ‘Folklore’ range. The yarn can be purchased in both 4 ply and DK from Blacker Yarns.

My new Anniversary pattern, has been made by selecting colours to match the current season and using a total of four different colours of 4 ply. (There is also a separate pattern available to purchase for matching Cowl).

This was a beautiful yarn to work with and following a colour chart made knitting really interesting plus, fast results, and a sense of achievement.

So, to sum up all the goods points… It’s seasonal, it’s stylish, and so much fun! What more could you want from a knitting pattern…

As I have said in the pattern, always do your Tension Square and adjust as stated, if need be.

Yarn: For the best results, I have recommend the really beautiful Blacker Yarns ‘Folklore’ Pure Wool
Breed: Grey Shetland, Cream English Merino & Light Grey North Ronaldsay.
Ball/Skein Length: c.100g c.350m (c.380yds) Mitten & Cowl Patterns (BYN0004)
*Ball/Skein Length:** c.50g - Mittens Only**

Finish (Woollen or Worsted): Woollen
Handle: Fine

Blacker Yarns specialise in breed specific British Wool yarn all spun and processed in Cornwall and consist of 100% natural fibres.

The pattern could be knitted with other 4-ply wool, but do your test square first to ensure you are going to have enough yarn.

The pattern uses:
400g of 4-ply yarn (100% Wool) (4 x 100g - different colours) for Cowl & 2 pairs of Mittens
200g of 4-ply yarn (100% Wool) (4 x 50g - different colours) for Mittens only.

You will also need 2 stitch markers, 3 rubber bands, Scissors & some spare wool (to put your thumb stitches on) and a wool needle for finishing.
