Knitting kit for Gloria Mittens in Önling No 3
Gloria Mittens are designed as a classic and functional winter accessory with a focus on fit, warmth, and well-considered details. The mittens are worked with a ribbed cuff that fits snugly around the wrist and helps keep out the cold. The rib is worked with the characteristic mock cables, adding a subtle decorative element without overpowering the design. On the back of the hand, the pattern continues with fine cables that run all the way to the fingertips.
The decreases are integrated directly into the cable pattern, creating a calm and cohesive look and a smooth, rounded finish at the tips. The mittens are worked as mirror images, with the cables twisting in opposite directions to form a balanced and harmonious pair.
Gloria Mittens are intended as a versatile pair suitable for everyday wear as well as for more classic winter coats. They are knitted in Önling No 3, an organic merino wool that is soft against the skin while offering excellent warmth and durability. This makes the mittens well suited for regular use throughout the winter season.

Procedure
The mittens are worked in the round, from the wrist toward the fingers. Stitches are set aside for the thumb, which is worked last. The cuff is worked with mock cables, and on the back of the hand you’ll see soft cables with decreases that create a beautiful finish on the mitten. The mittens are mirrored, so the mock cables twist to the right on the left mitten and to the left on the right mitten.
Please note:
The price of the yarn kit is calculated based on the amount of yarn included, which is the amount we have used to knit the design according to the above measurements. Should you need more yarn, additional yarn can be purchased at regular prices by placing an order and state lot number in the comment box at checkout. All designs have been thoroughly calculated and tested.
ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a knitting kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In some cases, however, you will not receive a pattern as part of your order:
If you buy a Yarn kit, you will only receive yarn for the design in question. Yarn kits are only sold for selected designs from external designers, where we do not have the right to sell the pattern. When a kit is sold without pattern, you can always see it in the header, which will say (excl pattern) in the header.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- For a select, few designs from PetiteKnit, we will add a printed pattern to the parcel - but for most PetiteKnit designs, you will not receive a pattern, as they are mainly sold as yarn kits (excl pattern). In these cases you will always be able to see it in the header, where it says (excl pattern).
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
