ZIGZAG LUFFER strikkes rundt på rundpind og har en enkel og klassisk 2, 2 rib. Hånden er strikket i glat i mønster i tofarvet strik. Når der strikkes med to farver lægges de to tråde over venstre hånds pegefinger. Den tråd der er tættest på strikketøjet, vil være den dominerende farve. For at opnå et ensartet udtryk er det vigtigt at trådene holdes ens gennem hele arbejdet! Det tofarvede mønster strikkes efter diagram.

For at give luffen en god pasform, tages ud til en kile til tommeltotten. For at undgå at trådene på bagsiden strammer, anbefales det at vende vrangsiden udad, men fortsat strikke i glat fra retsiden! I opskriften er der mulighed for at strikke en smal og en bred dameluffe og en herreluffe.

ENGLISH

 ZIGZAG MITTENS are worked in the round on circular needles, and have a simple and classic 2, 2 rib. The hand is worked in stockinette stitch in a two-coloured pattern. When you work with two colours, the two strands are placed over the left hands index finger. The strand closest to your work, is the dominating colour. To achieve a uniform expression, it is important to hold the strands with the same tension throughout the work! The two-coloured pattern is worked according to a chart.

To give the mitten a good fit, increases for a thumb gusset is made. To avoid the strands becomming too tight on the WS, it is recommended to turn the work inside out, but still work from the RS! In the pattern you can choose between three sizes, a narrow and a wide women’s mitten, and a men’s mitten.
