Offered with companion pattern Edgewise Hat for a discounted price of $7.00 USD.

Edgewise Mitts, named after their sideways construction are a crochet take on classic ribbed fingerless mitts. Using simple half double crochet stitches worked into back loops creates a stretchy, lofty rib. The thumb gusset is shaped with slip stitch short rows. Can be worn pulled down over the fingers, or with the hem folded. Monokrom’s tonal ombré colours highlight the linear texture.

Pattern Notes: The fingerless mitts are crocheted flat, sideways, starting with palm and knuckles. Next, a thumb gusset is shaped with slip stitch short rows. The edges are joined with slip stitch for a seamless finish.
