On the Farm Fingerless Mitts

Warm, cozy, simple, and fun. The On the Farm Fingerless Mitts are a quick and easy-to-knit DK weight colorwork project, available in five adult sizes.

The On the Farm Fingerless Mitts design references the millions of acres of farmland covering the state of Montana. You look down the rows: clear, straight, and neatly planted. Close to you, the rows are well-defined. You can see the dirt and the stalks. But as you look up and into the distance, the rows start to blend together, becoming a vast sea of green, bushy crops. The colorwork reflects this visually, as the rows of MC gradually fade into the CC as you reach the top of the mitt.

This pattern is worked bottom up in the round. This pattern includes both written and charted instructions, but the instructions are separated within the pattern PDF, so you can just print what you need.

The techniques used in this pattern include working in the round, knits, purls, two-color colorwork, increases, and a sewn bind off.
