WHY ‘MUCKLEMUFF’?
In Scots, “muckle” is an emphatic expression
meaning much, or large, and this cosy colourwork
skater’s muff is “muckle” in these senses. As well as a
double-layer of Artesano aran, the muff includes a
knitted-in, roving-stuffed lining -- guaranteed to
keep your hands super-cosy in any chill Winter
wind . The name of th is design is al so a shout-ou t toMary-Jane Mucklestone: the colourwork pattern I
have used here is no.172 in her book 20 0 Fa ir is le
Moti fs - an invaluable tome which should be on every
knitter’s bookshelf. Thanks for the inspiration,
Mary-Jane!

provis ionally c/o 72 sts , pm, and join for working
in the round. Change to B and work in
stockinette for 29 rounds.
p one round, then k one round in B. With A, work increase round as follows:
k6, m1 around. 84 sts.
Work rounds 1-54 of chart.
With A, work decrease round as follows:
k5, k2tog around. 72 sts Break A.
With B, k one round, then p one round.
With B, work in stockinette for 29 rounds .
Retaining live sts on needle, weave in all ends,
and lightly steam-block both the rs and ws of the
work. (It is important to do thi s now, as you
can’t block the muff once it is stuffed!)Unzip provisional c/o, and place c/o sts on spare
circular needle.
Making sure the rs is facing you at all times, turn
and fold the muff along the two purl rows
separating the stockinette lining from the
colourwork outer. (The colourwork outer will be
temporar ily on the inside, and the lining will be
outermost.) The two sets of live sts from the c/o
and b/o edges now lie parallel to one another,
ready for grafting.
With B, gra ft 60 sts from top and 60 sts from bottom edge together, leaving a 3” opening.
Stuff the mucklemuff with roving, distributing a
0.5” layer of stuffing evenly between the lining
and the outer.
Graft together the remaining 12 sts from top and
12 sts from bottom edge. Draw the working yarn
to the ins ide of the lin ing, and fasten off .
Turn and fold the muff so that the colourwork
outer is on the outside, and the lining innermost.
With B, pick up 84 sts in the pur l round at one
edge of the mucklemuff. Using icord bind off, b/o
all sts.
With B, pick up 84 sts in the the purl round at
the opposi te edge of the mucklemuff. Using icord
bind-off, b/o 81 sts , and work plain icord for 35
rounds (to create wrist-loop). Join end of icord
to beginning of round, draw working yarn to the
inside of the lining and fasten off.
If you wish, with A, work a 40” icord to create a
carrying strap for your mucklemuff. Pass the
cord through the mucklemuff, knot the ends
securely, and place the mucklemuf around your
neck.
Enjoy your muckle muf f!
