Scalasaig
Scalasaig (pronounced skuh-LASS-ig) is the main settlement on the isle of Colonsay. The island is famous for its native black bees and the honey they produce, so a fitting name for a colorwork pattern that looks like honeycomb. These mitts are worked in Tunisian crochet in the round with straight Tunisian crochet used for the ribbing.
In this pattern, different sizes are created by changing gauge. Two sizes are gauged for a finished mitt hand circumference of: Small-Medium (8 ¼”) and Medium-Large (9”). A 3mm hook generally works for the smaller size and a 3.25mm for the larger size.
These mitts work up well in superwash yarn that contains 20-25% nylon to keep the mitts from stretching. If using a none superwash yarn, you may find you need to reduce the hook size slightly (0.25mm) to match gauge.
Main color requires 150-170 yards of fingering weight/sock yarn. The contrast color requires 80-95 yards.
This pattern is also available in an eBook containing eight colorwork fingerless mitt patterns for the price of five. Coorie: Tunisian Crochet Fingerless Mitts
