The Story
I love playing with color-work - changing direction of colors is one of my favorite things. These mitts feature two color stripes in various widths/heights, vertical stripes adjacent to horizontal stripes. The contrast between colors used will create greater (or lesser) visual striping in the horizontal striped section.
Materials
- Color A: 70 yds - Modelled: Haute Knit Yarns DK (DK weight; 100% superwash merino wool; 231 yds/100g): 1 skein ‘Every Day Grey’
- Color B: 70 yds - Modelled: Haute Knit Yarns DK (DK weight; 100% superwash merino wool; 231 yds/100g): 1 skein ‘Ship Wreck’
- US 4 (3.5mm) 32” circular needle (or DPNs; brioche option only)
- US 6 (4.0mm) 32” circular needle (or DPNs)
- US 7 (4.5mm) 32” circular needle (or DPNs; corrugated rib option only)
- Stitch markers (2 fixed, one removable)
- Stitch holder or length of smooth waste yarn (approx 6 inches)
Notes
- These fingerless mitts are worked from the wrist cuff, up towards the thumb and fingers.
- These mitts are designed to include a vertical striped section using two colors; a brioche option and a corrugated rib option are provided. Note that each option uses different needle sizes.
- Adjust needle size(s) as necessary to match gauge.
- Although these mitts are written for the Magic Loop method, DPNs can easily be substituted: the Front needle is synonymous with Needles 1 & 2 and the Back needle is synonymous with Needles 3 & 4.
- Instructions are given for the smallest size with larger sizes in parentheses. When only one set of instructions is given, it applies to both sizes.
- These mitts are meant to be worn with 1-inch of negative ease measured at the widest part of the palm.
- You may choose either skein of yarn to be Colors A and B as an equal amount of yarn is used for both colors.
