Product Details
If you are anything like me, you buy beautiful mini-skeins (like Hedgehog Fibres sock minis) for “someday” and have extra sock weight yarn around “just in case”. This stash-busting pattern allows you to use them and look good while doing it!
You will be holding two sock yarns together at all times, and will end up switching one out every seven rows. If your leftovers are a little over or under – Never Fear! You will still be able to get the same effect by switching 1/2-1 rows early or late. Just be sure the document what you do on one mitten to match the other!
Note: It is best to cake your yarn so that you can use both ends of the yarn, and I used about 60-70m per color. The mitten is approximately 7.25 inches long, 7.5-8 inches around.
Hint: Choose 6 colors in fingering weight yarn to create a fade. The best way that I like to make a fade is to choose the two outside colors and find ones in between that make it fade from one to the sixth.
