the silver doe

This is the doe for my Snape Mitts (see below), which were based off the “Trust Snape Armband” by Slythwolf. The doe chart itself was inspired by Crogranny's filet deer (on ravelry).

Use any mitten pattern in fingering weight or just wing it. Here are my notes: Made for a man’s hand (that's why they look big on mine). Silver yarn: 2 strands metallic crochet thread. Green yarn: knit picks essential ivy kettle-dyed


CO 70 & join, k2p2 rib (with k1p1 at the end), 2 rounds knit, then leave room for Slythwolf’s chart (add “trust snape” in duplicate stitch on one side. The metallic yarn looked better with duplicate st than fair isle).

Increase for thumb gusset in a good place once every third round, first round M1, k2 M1. Increase until thumb gusset is 10-14 st. Keep knitting up in st st until long enough for hand and to fit both charts. Knit fingers.

Total stitches in fingers:
Pinky 15 sts; Ring 26 sts; middle 26 sts; pointer 26 sts; thumb 28 sts. K each a length that looks good then 4 rounds k1 p1, cast off loosely.
