ZIGZAG MITTENS are worked in the round on circular needles, and have a simple and classic 2, 2 rib. The hand is worked in stockinette stitch in a two-coloured pattern. When you work with two colours, the two strands are placed over the left hands index finger. The strand closest to your work, is the dominating colour. To achieve a uniform expression, it is important to hold the strands with the same tension throughout the work! The two-coloured pattern is worked according to a chart.
To give the mitten a good fit, increases for a thumb gusset is made. To avoid the strands becomming too tight on the WS, it is recommended to turn the work inside out, but still work from the RS! In the pattern you can choose between two women’s sizes, a narrow and a wide women’s mitten.
The mittens are worked in
LAMAULD, but can also be worked in
LAMATWEED.
