Knitting Jenny Pattern 9 and 10: Fair Isle Inspired Shetland Mittens and Design Workbook is a modern interpretation of traditional Fair Isle knitting patterns.

Knitting Jenny 9 and 10 features one PDF that includes two separate patterns, which are similar yet unique designs, which can be mixed or matched.

Yarn suggestions include 100% pure Shetland wool in a 2 ply jumper weight, or substitute any fingering weight or 2 ply equivalent to a 4 ply.

This pattern is suitable for any contrasting colors.

This pattern features circular knitting construction, from the wrist upward to the fingertip, as well as a cuff with folded picot hemmed edge, or you can substitute any ribbing (or other edge).

These mittens offer a fully adjustable length and width, with instructions on how to do so.

Suggested knitting needle sizes are:

2.0mm needles (for the inside of the cuff)
2.5mm needles (for the outside of the cuff, hand, and thumb)

The following wool quantities are suggested for a pair of mittens in Pattern 9:

Two 25-gram balls of the main color Shade FC49, Medium Blue (for the cuff, hand, and thumb)
One 25-gram ball of Shade 131, Dark Blue
One 25-gram ball of Shade 1A, White
One 25-gram ball of Shade 70, Dark Pink

In addition to the mitten pattern, the PDF also includes a Design Workbook with templates, which will enable you to create your own one-of-a-kind mitten designs.

The Design Workbook includes additional information useful to know before creating new designs in Shetland wool. The Workbook begins with a chapter, titled, Shetland Geography, then continues with a discussion of Shetland Knitting History and an overview of Shetland Knitting Tools. Color Theory is also included in the Design Workbook as color is a key ingredient to successful knitting designs. Lastly, design tips and mitten templates are included to support your creative design journey.
