Wikipedia says ”In computer graphics, a colour gradient specifies a range of colours usually used to fill a region. The colours produced by a gradient vary continuously producing smooth colour transitions.”

This is the idea I had with this design. I wanted the effect to be that the colours blended together giving an ombré look, especially from a distance. The mittens are knit as a straight tube, with increases for the thumb gusset. Both mittens are knitted the same. There are three sizes included.

I have used four colours in this design, one light colour, one dark colour, and two medium colours. You will need 10-20 grams of each colour.
