Knock Knock Convertible Mitts

Another use for sock yarn…I’ll bet you have some yarn handy for these mitts! This is an intermediate pattern and three-part video tutorial. The pattern includes instructions for either an “open” or “closed” thumb.

Sizes: Small/Medium and Medium/Large (they are very stretchy…you can see in the video that both sizes actually fit me. S/M will fit narrower women’s wrists, and M/L will fit wider women’s wrists).
Needles: Size US 1 (2.5mm); it is your choice if you want to use double-pointed needles, 9” circulars, FlexiFlips, or magic loop on a long circular; also a size US 3 needle (3.25mm) for the bind-off.
Yarn: 100 grams of fingering (sock) weight yarn
Additional Materials: two ring stitch markers, tapestry needle for weaving ends
Gauge: 9 stitches per inch

Pattern & links to three-part video tutorial $6 US.

You can add this pattern to your Ravelry queue here!

If you can knit these, you can knit socks, too! Here are a few of my sock patterns/tutorials that use the same German Short Row technique:
Loaded German Short Row Socks
Sidewalk Talk Flip-Flop Socks
Sling Heel Socks
Toe-Up Socks Using German Short Rows

The yarn I used in my mitts:
Rainbow striped mitts: Two Sisters Big Sky Base, in Make it Pop (striped) and a mini skein of Bright Pink
Pinks/Purple striped mitts: Turtlepurl Turtletoes in City Girl with the extra little hank of gold yarn

The needles I use in this video are Knitter’s Pride Ginger.
The plastic snaps I used are Kam Snaps, ordered here on Amazon: KAM Snaps Starter Kit

My finished mitts weigh 53g (smaller size) and 75g (larger size) per pair.
