The KAL Line is a collection of projects designed for knitters to indulge their creativity and make accessories and objects that are uniquely their own.

You can purchase and try this individual pattern, then receive $5 credit if you decide to go with the whole e-book.

These fingerless mitts invite you to play with a small amount of special yarn, be it new yarn candy, a sentimental leftover, or perhaps your first handspun. The samples showcase a splash of color, like a jolt of sugar running up the side of each mitt. Making a colorful hand with a neutral stripe would be striking, too. Right and left hands are interchangeable, can be made to any length, and ideas are given for two types of thumb panels, so you can customize your own and make a work of art out of each pair.

The 2011 KAL Line will include 6 patterns, primarily accessories and one object for the home. Patterns will be accompanied by knitalongs held on ravelry in the Stitch Marker * Larissa Brown group. The collection can be purchased as a progressive e-book above. Details also appear in the individual pattern document.
