Zigzag Mittens in Snefnug by Trine Meulengracht

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

The ZigZag Mittens in Snefnug are worked in the round on circular needles, and have a simple and classic 1x1 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 hand index finger. The strand closest to your work, is the dominating color. To achieve a uniform look, it is important to hold the strands with the same tension throughout the work!

Increases for the thumb gusset are made to give the mittens a good fit. To avoid the strands becoming too tight on the WS, it is recommended to turn the work inside out, but still work from the RS! The pattern comes in 3 sizes: A narrow and a wide women’s mitten, and a men’s mitten.

The mittens are worked in CaMaRose Snefnug Natur, but can also be worked in Snefnug, and Snefnug Watercolor.
