Brooklyn Boot Cuffs, Free Crochet Pattern
Fall is here and it is my favorite Season of the year when it is neither too hot nor too cold. I love how the leaves change colors and the the gentle rustling of the winds play music in the air. I adore the sound of the word "Autumn", as romantic as the Season itself.

Double Knit Mittens
Last winter, when my hands were very, very cold, I spent a few weeks trolling Ravelry for a double knit mitten pattern that I liked. There weren't a whole lot, and the ones I found either assumed a knowledge of double knitting I didn't have yet, or used techniques (mostly for casting on) that I found needlessly complicated. So I did the easiest thing I could think of, teach myself how to double knit and write my own pattern. Yeah, it seemed easier to me at the time. So, for future reference, and maybe to save someone else a few weeks of work, here it is. Eventually I will put up some in progress pics to illustrate techniques. Double Knit Mittens Sizes: adult medium Materials: Cascade 220—1 skein each in contrasting colours (colour A and colour B) Needles: 3.75 mm 32” or larger circular needle, or 1 set of 5 DPNs. Gauge: 4.5 st/inch in double knit Throughout, I will refer to the number of stitches in one colour; the total stitch count will be in parentheses. Video Tutorials:

The Thumb Trick:
Sometimes called an afterthought thumb, I first read about it in Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac. I really like this method because it's seamless; sometimes when patterns have you place stitches on a holder and then cast on the top stitches you can get an odd seam right in the crease where your thumb meets the hand, and that can be uncomfortable. The only trouble that some people may have with this method is that you cannot immediately try on your mitten in progress, as you can with mittens where the stitches are put on holders. But if you want to you can just knit a few more rows and then pick up the stitches instead of waiting until the mitten is done, threading the waste yarn through them so you can try on your mittens as you knit. The trick: Knit to where you want to place the thumb hole, and take a length of contrasting yarn, and knit the thumbhole stitches with it instead of your working yarn: (see the working yarn, still on the right-hand side of the work?) Ta da!
