Triangulation fingerless mitts

I’ve always been a fan of simple geometric patterns, and spent hours colouring books full of them when I was little. Now I like to knit them, and find their repetitive nature meditative to knit. Add a bright contrast pop and you have a real stand-out item of knitwear!

The Triangulation fingerless mitts are knitted from the bottom up, starting with a 2 x 2 rib cuff. The mitts feature a simple colourwork pattern, with an afterthought thumb, and the top cuff can be worn folded back, or unfolded for extra warmth.

The triangulation pattern is provided as both a chart and written instructions.

Designed to be worn with approximately 1 cm (0.5 in) negative ease, when measured around the knuckle joint.

Tension21 sts and 24.5 rnds = 10 cm (4 in) in Triangulation pattern worked in the rnd on 4 mm (US 6) needle(s) after wet blocking, or size needed to obtain correct tension.

Note that the yarn suggested is not the yarn used in the sample, but a suggestion that should work just as well.
