When it comes to colorwork, it’s no secret that bold, graphic designs are always my favorite. The charts become predictable once you get going, making for faster knitting that is especially entertaining. These mittens are designed to pair perfectly with the Paradigm Shift hat. The shifting diamonds are worked with 2 high contrast colors that are reversed on the palm of the mitten. The thumbs feature their own diamond embellishments, completing these cozy hand warmers.

This pattern was inspired by the colorwork chart ‘History’ in Andrea Rangel’s book, Alterknit.
