On the Side Mittens Pattern

Finally!  It’s ready!

And there was much rejoicing in the land!…

Call it bragging if you want to, but I love my On the Side Scarf.  I loved designing it, I love making it, I love wearing mine, and a lot of other people seemed to like it as well.  Because of this, I decided to make a pair of mittens to complement the scarf.

I decided to make the back of the hand match the On the Side scarf exactly but the palm of the mitten is a smooth and easy stockinette.  This makes it both easier to grasp things and easier to knit: win-win!

Also, because I wanted the entire back of the mitten to look like a complete entity, I did not want the thumb increases to show and detract.  So, I hid the increases along the side seam for a smooth uninterrupted look.

Though these only come in two basic sizes, I found that it is very stretchy and can fit a very large range of hand sizes.  Try it on as you go for a perfect fit.  You can also knit it in a smaller or larger gauge to vary the sizes available even more.
