Texel is an island in the North Sea and the stitch patterns of these fingerless mittens remind me of the waves of the sea. Knit them in sea and beach colours, as shown here, or make it a colourful, abstract pattern. Why not use up all those little leftover bits of wool to make each row of waves a different colour?

The sizes are Women’s XS/S, M and L, with 17, 19 and 20.5cm (= 6⅝, 7⅜, 8⅛”) mitten circumference above thumb, to fit hands of same size or larger. The stitch pattern stretches well to provide a good fit.

Meters/yardage is given in full Regia 4ply skeins (1 skein for each colour).

The pattern provides detailed written instructions (6 pages) with illustrations.

Lots of thanks to all my wonderful test knitters!

Errata:
18 Jan 2012: Fig. 3 shows outside of thumb gusset, and Fig. 4 palm side, not the other way round - updated version was uploaded onto ravelry today, and buyers were notified
Apologies for any confusion this may have caused!
Extra Apologies to buyers of the Texel eBook, who received the update much later!
