Icicle Mitts

Adorable icicles festoon these chunky fingerless mitts from Minnesota designer Mary Reigstad. If you’ve ever been to Minnesota during the winter, you already know the inspiration!

From Beth:

Minnesota winters are not for sissies. Bitter cold and lots of ice and snow are the standard and knitters have a very long knitting season.

Minnesota designer Mary Reigstad created these adorable mitts for those who like or need to keep fingers unencumbered. The saucy curls add a bit of whimsy and celebrate the beauty of the icicles that adorn every roof line during the winter. One size fits just about everyone and it’s a quick gift knit. Almost makes you happy to see freezing temps. Almost.

Finished Size: One size

Project Gauge: 16 stitches and 22 rounds = 4” (10 cm) in stockinette stitch on US 7 (4.5mm) needles

 Yarn: Berroco Peruvia (100% wool, 174 yards/160m per 100g skein); 1 skein Blanco #7100
