I’ve always been a fan of simple geometric patterns, and spent hours colouring books full of them when I was little. Now I like to knit them, and find their repetitive nature meditative to knit. Add a bright contrast pop and you have a real stand-out item of knitwear!

The Triangulation fingerless mitts are knitted from the bottom up, starting with a 2 x 2 rib cuff. The mitts feature a simple colourwork pattern, with an afterthought thumb, and the top cuff can be worn folded back, or unfolded for extra warmth.

The triangulation pattern is provided in the Ravelry download version as both a chart and written instructions.

A matching hat pattern is also available in my Ravelry store.

The sample knitted in size M using Find Me Knitting Mary aran, 210 m (230 yds) per 100 g ball, 50% Peruvian highland wool, 50% superfine alpaca in Ffiwsia (A), Jâd (B) and Dafad (C). Note that while this yarn is listed as an aran weight yarn, I found it to behave much more like a DK–worsted weight yarn.
