All the Rage
Please enjoy 40% off all of my patterns and e-books until 21 June 2023, no coupon code required!
These fun fingerless mitts start with a buttoned garter stitch cuff, and are worked from the bottom up in stranded colorwork. The gusset is a stunning design feature, and there is no pesky visible jog at the beginning of the round on these mitts. The main colorwork pattern was found from a book dating back to the 80’s, when it was all the rage to have outrageously graphic knitted sweaters, and I wanted to badly to use it in a more modern way, and I am very happy with the results.
I hope you enjoy these mitts as much as I have!
