Wood Block Mitts
Something fun & new for January - especially for quilt lovers & those eager to learn a new construction technique!.
Cosy mitts with a seamless, modular construction
The Wood Block Mitts are a fun and eye catching project, and make a great gift for anyone with a love for bold, graphic designs. Reminiscent of block printing and quilting techniques, they are the ideal project for anyone who enjoys interesting construction and who loves a puzzle.
Make the pattern your own with creative colour choices, either reducing the number of colours to just two, or using even more than the four shown here. The modular construction means that they’re perfect for using up scraps and mini skeins.
Construction of each mitt begins with the star motif. Knit a mitred square, followed by a series of simple triangles and squares that are worked from stitches picked up along the edges of the initial square.
Once the central block is complete, it is folded in half and the gaps are then filled in with triangles to create a tube with an opening for the thumb. With each separate triangle and square being knit individually, you’re only ever working with one colour at a time.
