These mitts offer a great way to use fingering-weight gradient sets like those from Pigeonroof Studios to maximum effect. My challenge in designing them was to devise a sequence that wouldn’t use more than 40 yards of any of the six colors and that flowed attractively from one color to the next.

If you want to substitute yarns from your stash, that’s no problem. The pattern provides the weights/yardage you’ll need for each of the six colors.
