Inspired by traditional Bohus designs, these fingerless mitts and matching beanie combine stranded colorwork with a simple slip stitch pattern. In Valley Yarns luscious alpaca Sunderland, they’re a stylish way to keep warm. The combination of knit and purl stitches carried on the right side of the work is a novel and approachable variation on colorwork. This versatile and gender-neutral design works with a wide variety of color combinations. The pattern is available as a PDF download.
