About the pattern

SWH is a stranded colorwork fingerless mitten design featuring rows of sweaters and various symbols/objects associated with Halloween. The design uses typical Halloween colors (orange, black, purple, and white) as main colors and small amounts of other colors (e.g. red, green, yellow - used to add small design elements - done in duplicate stitch). The mittens are very colorful, they are sure to cheer you up on the dark, cold night of October 31st.
