This intricate design is based on my original mitten construction and involves many interesting knitting techniques, such as short rows, intarsia and beading. So fasten your seatbelts, accelerate, and go on a head spinning knit!

Tristia Mitts are a reversible design knitted with two strands of yarn held together. Yarns are separated for the front motif, which is double knit (has two layers) and looks identical on both sides. Contrasting yarn colours make the motif stand out against the marled background creating two “right” sides.

DESIGN

Chessmates Mittens are an engaging knit for an experienced knitter. The design boasts a sideways construction, short row shaping, an ergonomic thumb and gusset, marled colourwork with Basketweave stitch on the cuff, and grafting.

This is a sister pattern for Sweet Rowan Mitts, published a couple of years ago. The mittens were designed before the mitts, but at the time I didn’t have enough pattern writing experience to produce a mitten pattern.
