The Gemstone Mittens are simple, quick to knit and designed to be roomy around the hands and narrow around the wrist, in order to trap the air inside and keep your hands sheltered and warm. They are well-suited to showing off two contrasting, solid color yarns. The color pattern is created using slipped stitches, which means that you will only ever be working with one color at a time. The simple thumb gusset is matched by equally simple tip decreases, and an i-cord edging around the cuff makes the finishing touch.
