These gloves can be finished as fingerless mittens or full mittens, which ever you prefer. The are design for a medium fit but have quite a bit of stretch in them.

I have used Noro Kureyon, in shade 263, which gives fantastic colour changes through the length of the mitten, I have used 2 balls.

The mitts were inspired by tribal groups of Africa and Asia, whose members distinctively wear a number of metal rings around their neck, often aiming to elongate their neck in the process. These mittens are knit in the round. Knit and purl rounds are used to give the impression of rings around your arm.

A pattern for Tribal Scarf will be coming soon.
