Chickering Sage Mitts by Grace Akhrem

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.  

Our Spring ‘21 Make It Now collection features stitch textures -- mesh, cables, seed, eyelets, and knit-purl combinations in embossed relief -- in light fabrics and soft colors that highlight March’s transitional weather.

As March is also Women’s History Month, the pattern names nod to women who’ve won the Nobel Prize: Grazia Deledda (Literature, 1926), Emmanuelle Charpentier (Chemistry, 2020), Shirin Ebadi (Peace, 2003), Gertrude Elion (Medicine, 1988), Ada Yonath (Chemistry, 2009), and Alice Munro (Literature, 2013).

The Chickering Sage Mitts are a companion to the Chickering Sage Hat. Here the same cable motif is offset by a ribbed detail on the palm.

Please note that the stitch pattern is written out and not charted.
