Balsam Point Mitts feature a geometric design that’s reminiscent of a colorwork pattern. You’ll create the angled stitches with 1x1 twists that don’t need a cable needle! Pattern details adorn the cuff and top of hand, with meditative stockinette in between. Choose a solid or semi solid yarn to best show off the twisted stitches - try out the included “mini swatch” tip to confirm your color choice!

This pattern coordinates with other designs! Check out Balsam Point Socks, Cowl, and Hat.

This pattern assumes knowledge of working in the round, increases, and decreases. Both charts and written directions are provided for all stitch patterns. A video tutorial link is included for the 1x1 twists without a cable needle used to create the geometric pattern.
