Munro Mitts (2021G)

Spring Make-It-Now 2021

Our Spring '21 Make It Now collection features stitch textures -- mesh, cables, seed, eyelets, and knit-purl combinations in embossed relief -- in light fabrics and soft colors that highlight March's transitional weather.

-

As March is also Women's History Month, the pattern names nod to women who've won the Nobel Prize: Grazia Deledda (Literature, 1926), Emmanuelle Charpentier (Chemistry, 2020), Gertrude Elion (Medicine, 1988), Ada Yonath (Chemistry, 2009), and Alice Munro (Literature, 2013).

The cuff of the Munro Mitts is worked back and forth in rows. Then the ends of the strip are brought together and the body stitches begin along one long edge. A simple pattern stitch of alternating half-double crochet and chain stitches flows easily around a finish-free thumb.
