This Pattern is Retired…but you can (probably) get it in November

I have a lot of patterns! But I also get overwhelmed if I have to deal with them all at once. So I’ve picked 12 of my favorites (the Core Collection) to keep around. Then every few months, I decide on a theme or a technique and make a handful of related patterns (the Rotating Collection) available for a little while (then they go away again).

The other patterns are retired and are not generally available. However, because I know some folks will want them, I make many of the retired patterns available for a few weeks every November. If you want me to tell you when they’re back, subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, and I’ll let you know!

• If you see the buy buttons on this page, you’ve caught it on one of the days it’s available!
• If you don’t see the buy buttons on this page, it’s not currently available.
• If you want to hear when the retired patterns are available (most likely in November), subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, or keep an eye on my instagram.

This is a companion to Hitherto.

Knitted leaves are magic. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules. I don’t know why. I just know that it’s true. There’s something about them that is so lovely and so orderly and so deeply satisfying, and I cannot explain it. It doesn’t make any sense at all. But it does make me happy, so I’m not going to fight it.

Plus they lend themselves to all sorts of lovely nonsense for thumbs. And you know I love a bit of lovely nonsense! Apparently they’re just so cool they can’t help showing off.

The mitt is written in six sizes (castons of 26, 30, 34, 38, 42, or 46 stitches), and you should feel free to adjust your gauge a bit to fine tune the fit of the mitts. Just be sure that you’re working at a gauge that gives you a fabric you like with your chosen yarn!

I recommend working at something around 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, or 6 stitches per inch, and I’ve included a table to help you figure out what gauge you’ll want to use for your size. With that range of sizes and gauges, the mitt will fit a wrist between 5.25 and 10.5 inches (with lots of points in between).
