New pattern & giveaway alert! Feel Good Mitts

May 4, 2016 3 Comments

Feel Good Mitts by Heidi Gustad. Get your hands on the pattern for these skill-building and versatile hand warmers!

Fingerless mitts are probably my most-worn item of knitwear. I’ve struggled with tendonitis for over half my life (yep, I first had the issue when I was just 14!), so I learned at a younger-than-average age the importance of keeping your hands warm to encourage good circulation and hand health. My newest pattern is now available, and it’s all about keeping your hands warm to make them feel good!

Get the Feel Good Mitts pattern on Ravelry now.

You’ve got a couple options when you knit up these mitts. You can use 6 different colors of Feel Good Yarn Company’s SilverSpun Sport mini skeins, which are 14 grams and 50 yards apiece. Or you can avoid weaving in ends a couple ways: You can leave ’em fringey like this.

Feel Good Yarn Co. yarn is would with real silver, making it perfect for therapeutic projects to encourage circulation like hand warmers or socks.

…or you can simply knit them in a solid color like this. Either way, these mitts are relaxing to knit and include a handful (no pun intended) of techniques to make your finished knitting project perfectly polished. These construction and finishing techniques are adaptable to so many other knitting projects beyond the Feel Good Mitts!

    Lovely colors. However, stars are my favorite things, so Starry Night would be my favorite color.
