Fraternal Spring Mitts Pattern

Right now, while we’re in it, Spring feels like the very best season of all. Birdsong trilling, the first electric green shoots, the smell of Earth– tangible proof that Hope exists. And yet. It’s cold here on the 45th Parallel. Not just a nip in the air, but cold cold. Snow, even. Often. Not quite time to pack away the woolens. (Thank goodness!) What better way to bridge the seasons than with a basic fingerless mitt? The thing we love most about these wardrobe staples, though, is how not basic they are. Knit with a hand-dyed millspun yarn, they’re kinda funky and surprising and no chance whatsoever they’ll match. Similar, but different–the hidden colors within the skein unfurl as you go. (As in yarn, so in Life.) They’re a tiny statement piece to jumpstart your Spring wardrobe and so addictive, you might want to make more than one set. (And of course, you can knit them in a solid color if you’d rather have a bit more control of what’s coming.) Small enough to tuck in your jacket pocket, purse or your glove compartment, these little cuties are a tiny comfort for breezy, after-dinner walks, chilly patio coffee dates and frosty morning commutes.

These mitts requires one skein of fingering weight yarn — a gradient yarn like Spincycle Dyed in the Wool —  and size US 3 (3.25 mm) double-pointed needles.
