My Jacoby Mitts are finito!
They are snug without being too tight. The yarn is a superwash merino/nylon base so I’m hoping they stand up well with no pilling as I type and work. On a side but related note….how hard is it to take good pictures of your hands? Lol, I had to have the hubby help! Even then one hand would appear smaller/larger in the photo unless I kept my hands spaced correctly.
I used a free pattern and yarn from my stash. A win for this girl! Not mention the instant gratification of a quick project! I absolutely adore the pops of deep purple, blues and bits of white that appear. Very much like the blackberries I used to pick in my Grandparent’s garden.
Pattern: Jacoby from Berroco
Yarn: Cloudlover Sock yarn in Blackberry Truffle
Needles: Size US 1 8″ Addi Turbo circular needle
Size: 60 stitches as per pattern
Mods: Lengthened the arm portion and finger portion to add cover more of my wrists and fingers.
These worked up easily and quickly on my circs. I am going to keep this pattern in mind for quick and easy gifts for birthday and holidays. My sister make like a pair maybe? And the best part is that this is not my only FO this week….stay tuned….
Happy Knitting!!
I’m in the middle of a similar project in red 😊
Those look so good! For whatever reason, I struggle with mitts (the thumb gusset gets me every time). Also, that color is lovely!
I did too until I discovered 8 inch circulars. No laddering from Dpns and my work doesn’t slip off
I should try those. I’ve heard good things.
I like the Addi Turbos if it counts for anything
Do they work for socks too? That would make life so much easier…
I knit ALL my socks on these. It takes a bit to get used to the small circumference but I’m never going back!
These look nice. I always knit the thumbs longer (warmth purposes) but the shorter thumb would work for indoor use.
Super cute!!!
