Tidbits Mitts
Pattern Notes
Do you have lots of fingering weight scraps leftover and can’t bear to throw them out? Small bits that just aren’t enough for a full project? This is the perfect project to use up all those odds and ends. Most ends can be knitted in as you go. A photo tutorial is provided for the knitting in of ends plus how to join the hand to the flying geese panel. This is a separate PDF file included with your purchase. Just to reiterate – you do not need to weave in most of the ends!
Color Notes
In most of my stashbusting projects, I’ve used All The Colors. In this project, I decided to go with a few more curated palettes. The sky is the limit when it comes to picking out colors. Get creative - this is the fun part!
Construction Notes
First, the flying geese panel is knit. Then, an edging is worked along the side of the panel. The main portion of the hand is knit back and forth in rows and is joined to the panel as you go. Finally, upper and lower edgings are worked directly onto the mitts.
The intarsia method is used to change colors. When changing colors, bring the old color strand up and around the new one to avoid holes forming in your work.
Ends Notes
Most ends are worked in as you go. After working in ends, you can trim them to an inch or two long. But wait until after blocking to fully trim them to account for stretching during the blocking process.
