Knitting Jenny Pattern 147: Icelandic Léttlopi Wool Mittens

Knitting Jenny Pattern 147: Icelandic Léttlopi Wool Mittens feature cuffs with a folded picot hemmed edge, stranded colorwork at the wrist, and thumb gussets. 

The mittens are designed with Ístex brand Icelandic lopi wool in the léttlopi weight, which is considered a worsted/Aran weight.

Icelandic sheep wool contains special fiber properties to enable knitting yarn that is lightweight, warm, durable, breathable, and water resistant, the perfect textile combination for mittens.

The mittens are knit circularly, and are constructed in one piece, as follows: 

• Provisionally cast on, join circularly, knit the cuff with folded picot hemmed edge, knit the stranded colorwork at the wrist, leading to a thumb gusset. Knit the hand circularly to the fingertip.

• The pair of mittens weighs 72 grams total.

The following tools are required: 

• 4.0mm double pointed needles (for hem facing and stockinette stitch)

Knitting Jenny Pattern 147 calls for the following gauge; however, your needle size requirements may vary.

• 23 stitches and 28 rows to 4 inches (10 centimeters) over solid color stockinette stitch, knit circularly with 4.0mm knitting needles, after washing, blocking, drying.

Physically small knitting projects (like mittens) don’t necessarily require investing the time and energy to knit a gauge swatch, then wash, block, dry. Mittens are forgiving. Mittens come in all shapes and sizes, to fit either tightly or loosely, or to be either shorter or longer. Knitwear is flexible, and minor size issues can often be remedied during the washing and blocking process. 

Knitting Jenny Pattern 147 includes 14 pages, with sections dedicated to the following topics: Color Dominance, Water Splicing, and Blocking.
