When spring only exists in your calendar, light warm fingerless mitts are a must. These unusually constructed mitts use 2 colors and knit up super quick using your favorite fingering wool. Perfect for leftovers too as they only need about 90 yards of each color. The mitts were made to go with the tilted cowl and would be a perfect light warm spring set for chilly mornings. One row stripe and slipped stitch center add modern appeal.

CONSTRUCTION
I love starting out like a top down triangular shawl. The two right triangles signify endless possibilities for me and these mitts are just one example of what can be done.

YARN
The mitts use 2 equal amounts of 2 colors.
You will need about 25g of fingering weight wool (or roughly about 90 yards) of each colors.
You can use solids, self striping yarns or fade them, the sky is the limit here!
