If you're looking for a quick and easy knitting project, these chunky merino wool mittens are perfect! Knit a luxurious pair of mittens made from 100% Merino wool to keep your hands warm all winter long. If you would prefer a vegan wool alternative, no problem, we can source this for you too.
In this workshop, we’ll guide you step-by-step through knitting one mitten during the class, and you’ll complete the second mitten at home - in fact you may probably even start your second mitten in the class.
Not only will you learn how to knit a pair of luxury fibre mittens, 100% merino, but you'll also master essential knitting techniques like shaping your work neatly, which will be a valuable skill to add to your knitting repertoire. You'll work with beautiful chunky merino yarn, making the project go faster and the merino wool will give your mittens extra warmth and softness. The mittens require minimal sewing, so the focus will be on knitting, not piecing things together.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have one mitten finished and the skills to confidently knit the second one if not have made a start on the second one. We love practical, handmade projects that you can use every day, and these mittens are a perfect example. They’re fun, functional, and something you’ll be proud to say you made yourself! Please let us know at check out if you would like a vegan alternative to the Merino wool.
Beyond Beginner - must be confident doing the knit and the purl stitch.
