Knit Two-at-a-Time with Sojourn Mitts

Looking for a fun and rewarding knitting project to keep your hands warm this fall? The “Sojourn Mitts” pattern might be just what you need! These fingerless gloves are perfect for those who want to challenge themselves with a new technique, such as knitting two-at-a-time (2AAT) using the magic loop method.

What supplies will I need?

To get started, you’ll need to gather your supplies, which include sport weight yarn, a US size 4 circular needle (at least 40 inches long), and a tapestry needle. Once you have your supplies, cast on and start working on the ribbed cuff. After completing the cuff, move on to the main body of the mitts, which is worked in a simple stockinette stitch.

How to knit two mittens at a time.

The Unapologetic Knitter has an excellent YouTube tutorial to get you started. Although the tutorial is focused on socks, the same principle can be applied to mittens.

Why Sojourn Mitts?

The “Sojourn Mitts” pattern is special because it can be adapted to the magic loop method, which allows you to knit two mittens at once. This technique is especially useful for ensuring that your mittens are the same size and shape, and it helps reduce “second mitt syndrome”. Since there is no difference between the left and right mittens, you do not need to modify the pattern for two-at-a-time (2aat) knitting.

These fingerless gloves are a great way to add a personal touch to your winter wardrobe. They are perfect for keeping your hands warm while still allowing you to use your fingers for everyday tasks like typing, texting, or knitting. And because they’re made with sport weight yarn, they’re warm and cozy without being too heavy.

So why not challenge yourself with the “Sojourn Mitts” pattern? With its simple yet elegant design and adaptable techniques, it’s the perfect project for knitters of all skill levels. And who knows, you might just end up with a new favorite pair of fingerless gloves!
