Instead of apologizing to those who may be offended by the images contained herein, I pose the question: “Where did you think your yarn came from?”

The pattern is written with basic directions for double-knitting. However, techniques such as jacquard stranding, intarsia or duplicate stitching may also be appropriate colourwork alternatives.

To modify size, change yarn / gauge.

Happy Knitting!

Note:

The textured stitch pattern seen on the mitts in the photos is moss stitch, worked in the round as follows:

Rounds 1 and 2: * K1, P1 * , repeat * * to end
Rounds 3 and 4: * P1, K1 * , repeat * * to end
Repeat rounds 1-4.

Work the moss stitch over rounds 1-20 and 43-62 to position the texture the way it looks in the pattern page photos.

If double-knitting, you can work the textured pattern on the front layer and continue to purl all the stitches on the back.
