A few months ago I was gifted this gorgeous Nova yarn and although I’ve never worked with sport weight yarn before, I really enjoyed how light and airy it is! It was a bit hard to frog at times but I eventually figured it out and thankfully didn’t have to frog as much as I anticipated. The best part about this design is that it’s a one-skein project! I love the rhythm of the Saloniki stitch and the beautiful texture it gives! Keep reading for the details and the full pattern. I hope you love making these as much as I did!

Pattern rows are Forward pass instructions.

The following instructions are implied:
- The loop already on the hook at the beginning of the row counts as the first st.
- Always Tunisian simple stitch in the last st of the row, being sure to work under both loops of the st.

Return Pass: Follow the foundation row and each row with the Return Pass in the same color unless a color change is needed. There are two different Return pass instructions used in this pattern:
- Special Return Pass Instructions: Ch 1, *yarn over, pull through three loops, yarn over, pull through two loops; repeat from * until 2 loops remain on the hook, yarn over and pull through 2 loops.
- Normal Return Pass Instructions: Ch 1, *yarn over, pull through two loops; repeat from * until 1 loop remains on the hook.

Notes About Sizing:

Measure your gauge swatch across unstretched and stretched. The unstretched gauge swatch measurement will be used for a looser fit and the stretched gauge swatch measurement will be used for a tighter fit.

Measure your hand circumference and length using the schematic below. Measure your hand circumference by wrapping your tape measure around your knuckles. Measure the length by measuring from your knuckles to 2 in. below your wrist.
Calculate stitches per inch by dividing the number of stitches by inches of gauge swatch. For example: The stretched gauge swatch measurement was 13 sts per 4 inches. 13 divided by 4 = 3.25 sts per inch. The unstretched gauge swatch measurement was 15 sts per 4 inches. 15 divided by 4 = 3.75 sts per inch.

Use the measurements to calculate number of stitches to chain
- For a looser fit, example (using the unstretched gauge swatch measurement):
  - For an 8 in. hand circumference, you will need to chain (8 in. x 3.75 sts) = 30 sts (for this pattern you need an even number of stitches) for a total width of approximately 8 in.
    - Calculate using the above method to find out how many stitches you need to chain. Substitute this number for X in the pattern below.

For a tighter fit, example use the stretched gauge swatch:
- 13 divided by 4 = 3.25 sts per inch.
- This means you will need to chain (8 in. x 3.25 sts) = 26 sts (for this pattern you will need an even number of stitches) for a total width of approximately 8 in.
  - Calculate using the above method to find out how many stitches you need to chain. Substitute this number for X in the pattern below.

Measure from your knuckles to 2 in. below your wrist. This is the length you will need to complete. Substitute this number for Y in the pattern below.
Note: If you are using the Nova sport weight yarn, be sure to keep your tension a bit loose to be able to frog easily if required.

Schematic:

Standard Hand Circumference Measurements (from Craft Yarn Council)

AGE	HAND CIRCUMFERENCE (in.)
*Children*
2-4 yrs	5
4-6 yrs	6
6-8 yrs	6.5
*Women*
Small	7
Medium	7.5
Large	8
*Men*
Small	8
Medium	8.5

Pattern Instructions:

Ch X (based on my calculations and gauge, ch 26 for Women’s Large (using 8 inches as the hand circumference measurement); ch 24 is suggested for Women’s Small and Medium for a snug fit (using 7.5 inches as the hand circumference measurement)

Row 1 (Foundation Row): Pick up a loop in the back bump of each chain. Complete normal RetP. (X stitches)

Row 2: [(tss, tfs 2], repeat [ ] to the end of the row, work last st as normal.

Special return pass: Ch 1 (yo, pull through 3 loops, yo, pull through 2 loops)* repeat * across until there are two loops remaining, yo and pull through 2 loops.

Rows 3 to 24: Repeat Row 2 and special return pass

Repeat Row 2 until you reach 1 in. less than the desired length as calculated above (Y) For the sample, I continued to 7 in. for a length of 8 in. based on my calculations and measurements.

Row 25: Tss across. Complete normal RetP.

Rows 26 to 28: Tps across. Complete normal RetP.

Bind off. Do not cut yarn.

Ch 1 and sc along the long edge, when you reach the corner, (sc, ch 1, sc) into the corner, sc across the short edge, when you reach the corner (sc, ch 1, sc) into corner. Sc across the second long edge. When you reach the corner, sc, ch 1 and sl st into the first corner st.

Bind off and leave a 24 in. tail, cut yarn. With the wrong side facing out, fold in half as shown below. Leave a 1 in. hole for the thumb and attach locking stitch markers to signify beginning and end of thumb hole as see below. Using the leftover tail, whip stitch along the edge leaving the thumb hole open.

Leaving a 6 in. tail, cut yarn. Remove stitch markers and weave in all loose ends and turn the finished mitt right side out. Repeat instructions for a second mitt.
