How Big Are Oars?
So, I knit this pair of pogies (rower’s mitts) without really knowing much about rowing. I don’t know how big oars are, or how big hands are when they are holding oars. I do know that it is a really neat idea to have mittens that have oar holes in them. These are for a rower that sculls, so I didn’t need to make a third…but if you know a rower who rows on a team, they’ll need one pogie like these, and one with two holes in it.
These pogies are knit from 100% wool so they will be warm even if they do get wet while rowing.
This particular rower has ties to both France and Canada, so I embroidered flags on both pogies.
I still don’t know if they are the right size for oars…
