Martha Mittens
A011
Named for the Biblical Martha, these mittens
are working mittens. The rib pattern allows the
fabric to hug your hand even after a days
work. Not too bulky, they'll keep your fingers
toasty while typing, working in the barn or
driving to work. Their all-day warmth will ease
the pain of arthritis and carpal tunnel
syndrome. Put them to work for you.
Skill level: Intermediate.
Size: One size fits most adults and older
children. To make larger, cast on extra stitches
in multiples of 2, working the thumb per the
pattern. To make small child/larger child cast
on 38 (44) stitches and work gusset through
row 12. Skip to row 19 and continue. For a
slightly smaller version, go down one needle
size.
Gauge: 42 sts in 4"/10 cm (in the round in
pattern) using US Size 2 (2.75 mm) needles.
Yarn: Sock weight yarn, 140 (165) yards (16
wpi). Models knit in Crystal Palace Panda
Cotton and Regia 4 Ply sock knitting yarns.
