These mittens are a fairly quick knit and are a great way to use up those scraps of worsted weight yarn that have been lingering in your stash. These mittens are a great first colorwork pattern for those knitters comfortable knitting in the round and want to take the plunge into colorwork knitting. The Full Sail Mittens feature an afterthought thumb so the colorwork pattern has limited interruptions.

Gauge:
20 sts x 20 rows = 4 in x 4 in in stockinet stitch
24 sts x 24 sts = 4 in x 4 in in color work pattern

Note: The gauge was measured after light blocking.

Yarn:
The samples are knit with Cascade 220 (100% wool). I used 114 yards of the main color (white), 32 yards of contrast color 1 (dark blue), and 32 yards of contrast color 2 (light blue).

The Full Sail Mittens are part of a three mitten collection, the My Sweet Dinghy Mittens and Halyard Mittens. Like Full Sail, the other two are colorwork mittens but are slightly more challenging.
