Four-in-Four is another name for Houndstooth – as the pattern repeat is worked across four stitches and four rows it seemed a good fit.

Knit with either Alafoss Lopi single or Lett Lopi doubled, the stranded fabric of these colour work mittens are going to keep your hands warm.

This pattern includes a chart as well as written instructions for the Houndstooth pattern to accommodate either preference. You will need about 60-65 meters of MC and 45-50 meters of CC.

If you feel the need to add another layer for extra warmth, check out my mitten liner pattern.
