Coppersmith

Coppersmith is a simple but fun fingerless mitts pattern. The twisted rib pattern grows from the cuff, with a sweeping line of decreases travelling from under the thumb and around both sides before meeting below the ring finger. For the perfect fit choose a size that gives you 0 – 1.25 cm (0 – 0.5”) of negative ease. The pattern is fully written instructions, with charts for the ribbed pattern and also includes a photo tutorial for the Estonian Cast-On and the twisted k2tog. The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the pattern, and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos. These additional techniques are used: picking up stitches. **Materials** * 135 (145, 165, 185)(200, 220) m (145 (160, 180, 200)(220, 240) yds) of Eden Cottage Yarns Hayton 4 ply (80% Merino, 10% Nylon, 10% Cashmere, 380 yds/100g) in Copper Bucket * 2.5 mm (US 1.5) circular needles, 80 cm (32”) or longer or DPNs * 4 stitch markers (per mitt) * Yarn needle for sewing in ends **Gauge** 32 stitches and 44 rows in 10 cm (4”) in stocking stitch in the round. **Finished Size** XS (S, M1, M2, L, XL) - 12.5 (13.75, 15, 16.25)(17, 18.25) cm / 5 (5.5, 6, 6.5)(6.75, 7.25)” The mitts are designed to be worn with up to 2.5 - 5 cm (1 - 2”) of negative ease.
