Rainbow Adventure
This pattern is found in Knit Happy with Self-Striping Yarn and cannot be purchased as an individual download. The book is available for purchase HERE on Indiebound or HERE on Amazon.
Let your yarn lead the way on a rainbow adventure as you create these charming, practical fingerless mitts. These fingerless mitts were designed to make your self-striping shine!
NO SELF-STRIPING IN YOUR STASH? Not to worry! These mittens look great in solids, tonals, and variegated yarns, too!
These fingerless mitts are a delightfully fuss-free knit that will fly off your needles. Worked entirely in ribbing and twisted ribbing, they create beautiful texture without a single complicated stitch—just rhythmic, satisfying knitting from start to finish.
The stretchy rib fabric gently hugs the hands, making these mitts as comfortable as they are versatile—perfect for gift knitting. Plus, the non-traditional thumb gusset is a blast to knit! Grab your needles…It’s time for a rainbow adventure!
