[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Trigger mitts

[Bernice Bird]

Hi Tracy,
I don't have the label for the yarn I'm using, but it feels like regular
worsted weight. It is a little big, but my grandson is 15. I measured his
hand against mine, and his hand is longer, but not bigger around.
I am so happy that your description worked for adding those stitches using
back loop cast on. Couldn't be easier. Hurray!
Thank you.
Bernice

I thought 4-ply was fingering.  Hmmm.
How old is your grandson?  The size of hands makes a difference.
I wonder if a woman-size meant for DK-sport would work for a man in worsted.
Seems possible.

I'm using 4-ply acrylic yarn. I think the pattern said heavy dk yarn. I'm
measuring as I go. I do one part for one hand and the same part on the other
glove. My grandson walks to school and uses a cane...... I bet his hands get
cold.

Hi Bernice.

I got the trigger mitts pattern off Ravelry.  I think they might be useful
for my husband, who's a cane user. 

I see they using DK.  Is that what you're using?  I'm just wondering if it's
warm enough.  Though I could use alpaca instead of wool, I suppose.  What
yarn are you using?

 

Thanks Dixie for sending the link for this pattern a while back.

Tracy
