Tortilis ribbed mittens knitting pattern
Please note: This listing is for a digital PDF download of the knitting pattern only and does not include the materials to make the item.
Originally published in 52 Weeks of Accessories by Laine, I designed the Tortilis mitts knitting pattern in my hand-dyed Mendip DK yarn to be cosy, comfy, and supremely cute.
The travelling stitches and unusual shaping in this mitten knitting pattern create the feeling that the rib is flowing around itself - hence the name Tortilis, from the Latin word for twisted.
Worked bottom-up in 1x1 rib, these warm winter mittens have a lovely, snug and stretchy fabric, perfect for cold-weather adventures. The back of the hand features travelling stitches that make the rib seem to overlap itself, and the hand and thumb are shaped with centred decreases to continue the flowing effect of the rib.
Perfect for knitters looking for a cosy winter knitting project, or a one skein knit to make the most of your yarn stash.
