Shar-Pei Mitts

The mitts are knitted using tuck stitch pattern. It’s perfect for those of you who are like me – who love the simplicity of the stockinette stitch, but need a bit of variety to keep the boredom away.

You can download the PDF pattern here. There’s also a tutorial that explains how to make the tuck stitch in this post.

MATERIAL

  • Fleece Artist Nova Sock (100% merino 325m/112g – 355yds/4 oz) – I used about 60 grams
  • 3mm needles / US 2 ½ for knitting in round – dpns, 2 circulars or 1 circular for magic loop, etc.
  • Cable needle or spare needle to pick up stitches when doing a tuck (optional)
  • 2 safety pins for tuck stitch pattern (optional but recommended – you could also use 2 or 4 stitch markers, paper clip like or split ring, ones you can use to mark the stitch rather than a place on a needle – see instructions for tuck stitch for more detail)
  • 1 or 2 stitch markers to mark the thumb gusset increases (optional)
  • 1 stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round (optional)
