Foundling Mitts (Colorwork Version)
This version of the Foundling Mitts (also see the twisted version) is knit in two colors: one representing Foundling, the other Lina from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
Their journey begins with an i-cord cuff, followed by a short chart showing the twists and turns in the race to hide from their chasers. One hand transforms into the rose bush and the other sprouts a single rose. The mitts are finished off with an i-cord bind off, to complete the journey when the children finally go home together.
