Knitted mitten patterns
In order to finish a wicker knitting set I have decided to create a knitted mitten patterns. So now you will have knitted headband, knitted cowl and knitted mittens – all in the same cable and color style. Having this set ready – you will be fully equipped with knitted cloth to meet chilly weather. Here below you can find detailed knitting tutorial on how to knit mitten, but if you find something that is not completely clear – feel free to post a comment and I’ll try to get back to you asap. I wish you like end-result of my time and efforts and should be inspired to make your own set.
Knitting materials and knitting tools:
<> 5 Double Pointed Knitting Needles 2.5 mm (US 2);
<> Bonito Lanoso 49% wool, 51% acrylic. Orange color: 100 grams -300 m per skein (Used in total less then 1 skein)
Mitten gloves size:
Wrist size 16-17 сm
Gauge: 18 stitches = 4 inches
Common abbreviations of knitting stitches:
k – knit
p – purl
k2tog – knit two together
Cable 3 Back (C3B): Slip 3 knit stitches to the extra needle and hold in back of work, 3k from the left hand needle, 3k from the extra needle.
Cable 3 Front (C3F): Slip 3 knit stitches to the extra needle and hold in front of work, 3k from the left hand needle, 3k from the extra needle.
Note for knitters:
<> The left mitten is identical to the right one until you reach the thumb gusset.
<> Knit in two strands of yarn
Rib of the knitting mittens:
Cast on 32 stitches on DPN’s. (I have used long tail cast on). Redistribute evenly - 8 stitches each needle. Now join to knit in round.
Round 1: Begin with rib 1 by 1 *knit 1, purl 1* keep repeating 19-20 rounds until ribbing measures 7 cm from the edge.
Round of increase: In this round we are going to increase. I would like to use method that I like the most - *knit one stitch from the previous round, p – repeat from * around.
Now you have 48 stitches on your needles.

For the left mitten - Row 3: [C3F] – 4 times, 16k, slip 6 stitches to the extra needles (onto waste yarn), now cast on new 6 stitches, 2k.
Repeat Rows 4-8.
Repeat Rows 1-8 – 2 more time.

Continue decreasing until you have 4 stitches on your needles. Thread through remaining stitches, pull tightly and knot.
How to knit gusset section:
Place 6 sts from the waste yarn onto 1st double pointed needle. Using the 2nd one, pick up 6 stitches up.
Pick up 2 stitches from the both sides (using 3rd and 4th dpn). In order to avoid holes while picking (2 stitches from the right and 2 stitches from the left) try to twist them.
Redistribute stitches – 4 stitches each needle. Knit in stockinette stitch until desired thumb’s length.
Decreasing:
1st needle: 1k, k2tog, 1k;
2d needle: 1k. k2tog, 1k.
3d needle: 1k, k2tog, 1k;
4th needle: 1k. k2tog, 1k.
Continue decreasing until you have 4 stitches on your needles. Thread through remaining stitches, pull tightly and knot.
Repeat knitting pattern for the left mitten.
That’s it – knitted mittens pattern is over and mittens themselves are ready. Wear them with pleasure together with a knitted cowl and a knitted headband!
See you here next time or arrivederci in Italian!

Great work I love it.
Can circular needles be used instead of pointed ones? If so….will the pattern be the same to follow? Tks
Hi, of course you can use circular needles. There will be no changes in the pattern. Good luck!
beautiful work. thank you for sharing
I have the wicker stitch pattern for the mittens but I’m looking for the head band pattern. Could you please let me know if you have it?
Thanks
hi, please check this link for the wicker stitch pattern headband https://crazyhands.net/wicker-knit-cowl-pattern/
Do you have instructions for a two year old?
Hi. No, I don’t. But I am thinking of another mitten pattern for kids.
please!!! that would be great
Any suggestions for making this a bigger size? For wrist size 18cm – 19cm?
Hi, just add 2-4 more stitches to a ribbing part. Main part will definitely suit you.
Thanks! I added some stitches to the rib part and it fits well but I’ll still need to add another repeat of the body! I’ve got man hands lol
For the mittens when you reach the cable part is row 1 knitted and then row 2 purled? I tried this and the result does not match the pattern of the headband
You knit mittens in the round so you knit all stitches around. There is no purl rows.
Loos good, may not try until fall. knitting a baby sweater right now- but don’t knit often in the summer.
Hi Donita. Try it and you will never regret 🙂
I’d like to make a swatch to check gauge as I am using a different sport weight yarn. How many stitches and rows in stockinette should I have in a 4 inch sample ?
Hi, Gauge: 18 stitches = 4 inches.
Loving your pattern, not sure I understand the increase after band for mittens. Thanks for your help😊
Hi Holly. Please check this video of how to increase from the previous round https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmpvHzvJPm4, I am sure you will not have any problems with these knit mittens
The picture looks like you are using two strands of yarn held together but I don’t see anything in the pattern saying that- is that right?
You are right. Added this info. Thank you!
