Because sometimes we’re just a little off-axis, right? These mitts are not quite circular and just tilted enough to get the stripes going at a slant. For those days when we don’t want to conform.

Knit mostly in the round, with some short row shaping. Choose a self-striping yarn and a contrasting solid for the ribbing. (Great for mini-skeins!)

The pattern is written with German Short rows, but can easily be converted to other wrap/turn methods.
