Hypno - mittens and fingerless gloves
I love geometric shapes, especially when rendered in monochrome shades of black and grey. I called this design ‘Hypno’ as decentering the smaller squares of each repeat gives a slight hypnotic feeling. You can choose to knit the Hypno mittens or fingerless gloves … or both!

Both the mittens and fingerless gloves are fairly large-fitting, designed to comfortably fit hands with 21-22cm / 8-9in circumference. The mittens can be worn by smaller hands fitting as a cosy outer layer over another pair of mitts or gloves.

Pattern notes
These mittens (or fingerless gloves) are worked from bottom to top. The cuff is worked in 1x1 rib in alternating shades, then the hand is worked in stranded colourwork, inserting waste yarn for an afterthought thumb. After the hand is completed, the top is finished with mitten shaping or half fingers, and the thumb is worked separately.

PLEASE NOTE: the pattern is for personal use only
