The pattern for these little mitts came from the twisted, circular nature of this stinking thinking that used to catch me up with migraines. Hidden increases and decreases create a biased slant. The mitts are closed with a decorative bindoff that can be shown off or hidden, depending on how you wear them.

Yarn:
Kate Davies Designs Milarrochy Tweed (70% Wool, 30% Mohair; 109yd/100m per .88oz/25g skein)
Yardage required: 2 skeins, one in each of two colors:
Blueberry Jam colourway
 (grey and dark blue): Birkin & Lochan
Screen Time colourway(green and dark grey): Bruce & Stockiemuir
Note that for all sizes, less than half of each skein was used.

Gauge: 28 stitches / 56 rows over a 4” square. A firm gauge is preferable for a warm, stable fabric.

Recommended needles: US 2 / 2.75mm needles, in your preferred type for working flat.

Sizes: Small, Medium, and Large sizes provided. This pattern is flexible: you can make it longer by adding more stitches to the slanting section. You can make deeper cuffs but adding more stitches outside of the slanting section. You can customize the diameter by adding or removing rows.
