The Canyon fingerless mitts feature bold stripes and colorwork patterns that were inspired by the beautiful patterns on Navajo rugs. The gloves are knitted in the round from the bottom up, and partially from two charts. The difference in sizes is achieved by adjusting the gauge.

To minimize a jog in the stripes, watch the Knit Darling video tutorial about a neat trick for knitting two-row jogless stripes in the round.
