Fingerless Mitts
Take the mystery out of double-pointed needles with this beginner-friendly, "quick-knit" fingerless mitts workshop. Small-round projects like mittens and socks are the perfect way to build your knitting repertoire, and using bulky yarn ensures you'll see your progress immediately. This class focuses on providing a solid foundation for seamless construction without the need for complex flat-knitting seams.
Prerequisites: This is a "next steps" class. Students should already have a general knowledge of knitting basics, including how to cast on, knit, and bind off independently.
In this class, you will learn:
- Small-Round Foundation: Step-by-step guidance on how to cast on in the round, distribute stitches evenly across DPNs, and join them without twisting.
- DPN Mastery: Techniques for working with double-pointed needles, including how to rotate your active needle while maintaining even tension to avoid "ladders."
- Seamless Shaping: How to execute Make 1 (M1) increases, a discreet technique for creating the thumb gusset.
- Finishing with Style: Mastering a secure bind-off that maintains the right amount of stretch for a comfortable fit.
Materials & Prep:
- Included: Your class kit includes the pattern and bulky yarn.
- Required: Students will need to provide their own DPNs or arrive early to purchase them at the shop before the session begins.

| Instructor Bio: | A lifelong maker, I first picked up a crochet hook as a child and haven’t stopped creating since. My passion for fiber arts covers everything from the precision of quilting and embroidery to the rhythmic craft of spinning my own wool. For the past eight years, knitting has been a central part of my creative life. I truly believe that crafting is one of the best ways to find balance and relieve stress, and I can’t wait to help you discover that same sense of calm through creating. |
