Godchen is a palatine word for godmother. This pattern came about when my mother’s now 94-years-old godchen requested some gauntlets for her birthday. As they were a present for her, the pattern is a present for you!
Godchen mitts are easy, plain and simple, and a pleasure to wear. For more visual interest, the ribbing can be worn on top.
Godchen mitts should fit most teens and adults, but they are easily adjustable by adding or substracting sts from the stockinette part as needed.
When choosing yarns, please keep in mind that the original yarn was held double throughout, and use the gauge as a guide.
