Product Details

Last summer I began a painting course. My teacher stressed the necessity of layering in painting: the layers underneath can shine through the layers on top or be revealed through gaps in thicker paint (‘pastos’ in German). These fingerless mitts are inspired by the latter kind of layering of color, the orange is hidden yet revealed by the holes in the gray, and also just a glimpse at the edge, as though the gray color has not been brushed quite as far.

A special feature is how the mitt can be reversed: depending on the placement of the fold, the proportion of orange to grey shifts. For the mathematicians: you are crocheting a torus. The mitts are made using slip stitches which helps them fit snugly to the hand, the double layer makes them extra warm. The pattern comes with all stitch and technique tutorials.

The pattern is available in English (14 pages) and in German.
