This time of year I just want to be warm. I don’t want to knit anything fancy if it means it will take longer for me to actually get to wear and use it.
That’s why I’m so drawn to these Grace mittens from Berroco (hat tip to Noble Knits, where I first saw them). The super bulky yarn used to knit them means they’ll be on and off the needles in no time, and it’s just a really pretty yarn that makes mittens with a fun, stripy but with more detail, kind of look.
These would be awesome to knit up in bunches for quick holiday gifts, but make sure you knit a pair for yourself first!

Jorid Linvik’s Big Book of Knitted Mittens:
45 Distinctive Scandinavian Designs is sure to inspire you to want to knit some fun mittens, whether embellished with classic motifs like birds, hearts, moose and classic colorwork designs or those with a more modern feel liks guitars and skulls, a giraffe, penguins or a turquoise lizard.
The book includes a lot of instructions on how to make your mittens come out right, including a discussion of how different gauges can give you different sizes of mittens (and which mittens can be worked to different sizes for kids and adults). The charts are a little different from others you might have seen in that they show how to divide the stitches on the needles and where to place the thumb.

Cannot find the pattern for these mittens. Would love to make them. I have 9 greatgrandchildren that I knit mittens for. Takes lots of time & these would knit up so much faster. Please send me the pattern Thanks.
Where is the pattern? I looked all over and can’t find it.
