Autumn Fade Mitten Kits

Designed by Janet Welsh Knits

In Canada, my favourite season is autumn when many trees change from lush green to brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows. Inspired by those beautiful colours, the design of these mittens brings together autumn motifs with a fade of contrast colours against a neutral main colour background.

Degree of Difficulty
This pattern is suitable for an intermediate knitter with some experience working with charts and knitting in the round. Designer tips are provided for those who are new to stranded colourwork. Only two colours are used in each row.

Size
Instructions are written for a woman’s small hand with medium and large in brackets. Alternative charts are included for those who want a shorter mitten.

Techniques used in pattern:
• Stranded colourwork
• Knitting in the round
• Knitting from a chart
• Plain or two-colour cast on
• Corrugated Ribbing
• Cables
• Increase stitches (make one left and make one right)
• Decrease stitches (Slip, slip, knit and knit two together)
• Kitchener stitch

Included in kit: enough yarn to make one pair of mittens- one full skein of Nature Spun Fingering and 17 grams of 4 contrasting colors, and a download of the pattern to your Ravelry library.  Please provide your Ravelry username at checkout.
