  1. Hi Staci, I just want to say how fantastic your videos are, I live in United Kingdom and am a fairly new knitter, having tried to follow 3 or 4 different mitten patterns this is the only one that made sense of the thumb. Thank you so much for all the video help you give

  2. Hi Staci! I just had to comment! Finished my first pair of mittens ever! I’m a relatively new knitter but I have seen your videos on YouTube and thought I would give these a go. What an amazingly written pattern and great video tutorials! I’m so happy I finished them! I will be buying more patterns from you now 🙂 I do have a question though. I ended up using a different yarn for these. It’s a worsted weight 100% wool. I couldn’t really do the duplicate stitch on these because the v’s were very small and I didn’t end up having thin enough yarn. With that being said, could I do a intarsia type pattern on these instead? I want to learn colour work ( I’m going to be buying your snowflake hat pattern next to learn that!) but I wasn’t sure if it would be ok since the shape of the mittens? Thank you!!!!

  3. Cassandra – this mittens pattern calls for worsted weight wool, so based on what you said, you used the same yarn I did! The size of the Vs in your work is your gauge, or your stitches per inch. The gauge for this pattern is 6 stitches per inch, and if your gloves turned out the correct size, your Vs are most likely the same size as mine.

    You cannot do intarsia in the round – your working yarn is always in the wrong place (which is why I chose duplicate stitch for this pattern). But you can do fair isle:
