The Down Cellar Studio Pigskin Party is hosting a special December interception and giveaway. It’s all about the minis! So while waiting for my swap packages to arrive I pulled the One Twisted Tree mini skein set in the Beachy color from my stash!
And after some pattern diving in Ravelry I fixated on the Gradient Mitts by Christa McCurdy. And boy are these addicting!
I finished the first one (sans thumb) and started the second one. The yarn is held double to achieve the gradient effect. Between the two strands of yarn and the fact I chose to stay on size three needles, this fabric is dense and warm. I love it!
The mini set was short one color and my husband suggested black. Not a color I would normally use in this case. But I kinda dig the stark contrast from beginning to end. Points for the hubby!
Now on to the second one! Happy Knitting!!
This looks interesting, I have been thinking of mittens as a way to stretch my abilities in knitting, this might be the one!! Thanks for posting…
The pattern is very well written and easy to follow. The yarn held double takes a bit to get used to but I still highly recommend ig
I knit with two strands fairly often so that should be ok, thanks for the information.
I normally dont do 2 strands but I might give this one a go
