The Riverstone Geometric Mitts pattern was born of my desire to show off our hand dyed yarns and requests I had to teach people the colourwork mitten process. I would recommend this pattern to experienced knitters as there a few elements that the beginner might find challenging.
This pattern calls for 2 skeins of light worsted weight yarn that are approximately 50grams/100 yards each in contrasting colours.
When choosing your yarn I find it helpful to take a black & white (gray scale) photograph to see if my yarn is contrasting enough. The more contrast in shades, the better the effect.
I use 5 dpn’s in size 3mm but you can easily use a magic loop to knit these mittens. This will produce a small to medium size mitten. If you are a tight knitter I recommend a size larger needle and of course knit your swatch.
If you are interested in the whole “kit and kaboodle” I will be posting pattern and yarn kits on my website in the near future.

Thank you and happy knitting!
