When I saw the Balayage solid and multi-color yarns, I could just see the color work and the way to alternate the design through the mitts. I chose a Balayage solid paired with a Balayage mulit-color to make this. You will need about 60 yards of each color. Pair it with the Skeleton Key Hat to use the rest of the yarn! Purchase both patterns and you will receive a 25% discount on both.
