Love the warmth of thrummed mittens but not the fuss of cutting and placing thrums? This class will show you how to create the same cozy, cushioned effect with a simpler method! Instead of inserting bits of roving into your stitches, you’ll strand a thicker yarn with a thinner weight yarn — giving you that plush, insulated mitten without the extra work.
In this class, you’ll learn how to:
• Knit a mitten in the round using Flexi-Flips
• Combine bulky and worsted yarns for the “fake thrummed” look
• Shape the mitten for a comfortable, snug fit
• Finish your pair so it’s ready to keep you warm all winter
Pattern & Supplies:
• Pattern: Fake-Out Thrummed Mittens (available on Ravelry)
• Yarn: 1 skein of Malabrigo Rasta + 1 skein of worsted-weight yarn (solid color recommended)
• Needles: Size 7 Flexi-Flips
Skill Level: Intermediate — knitters should already be comfortable knitting in the round.
