Worked from the bottom up starting with a picot hem, these stranded colorwork mit-tens are inspired by paintings seen on antique Swedish trunks I saw in a museum when my family and I visited Scandinavia in 2016. With 3 different Fair Isle patterns fea-tured on the palm, the cuff, and the outer hand, it keeps the knitting exciting! A tradi-tional thumb gusset is shaped with easy M1R and M1L stitches, and the remaining stitches at the top are closed with kitchener stitch. The pattern is written for 2 16” cir-cular needles, but DPNs or magic loop can be used if desired.
