Speckled "Overbury" Mitts // Pom Pom Mag & Lydia Gluck

April 6, 2022

PROJECT DETAILS

Status Completed
Started 1/17/2022
Completed 2/24/2022
Pattern Name Overbury
Designer Lydia Gluck // PomPom Magazine Issue 1
Yarn Spun Right Round // Haze 1 skein // for two-at-a-time knitting
Needles US 2 (2.75mm) 40" Circular

NOTES

An extremely useful knit (especially for driving) that I should make more of. I made this second pair to replace a set that I’ve worn through.

  • Knit size 1

  • Knit two-at-a-time on one circular needle (except for flip tops)

  • Used a lace size crochet hook to make 9 loops that I used to create the loop for the button with the yarn tail (versus braiding yarn separately and creating a loop that is sewn into the top)

  • LaMode 3/8” buttons, Gold, Made in France (Left over from dress S 2212 project)

  • Used Suzanne Byron’s Youtube tutorial to avoid holes at the thumb

RESOURCES

  • Suzanne’s Method of Avoiding Underarm Holes in Knitting | Knitting with Suzanne Bryan // Youtube Tutorial

Final Thoughts

  • Love this pattern. Definitely a TNT.

NOTES

Lost 1 mitten right when I was ready to weave in the ends. Luckily, over 1.5 years later, I found the lost mitten (in the pocket of a little used handbag?) and finished this project up.

Final Thoughts

  • Next time, I would knit the mitten flap shorter and knit more cuff rows.
