Gradient Mitts

published in Craft: in February 2009; released as a free PDF in October 2009

Way back in my early knitting years, when I feared patterns and loved fat yarn and quick knits, I developed my super easy, fingerless, shapeless, fat and squishy "ninja mitts," as I've always called them. The mitt design is great for finger mobility, can be pulled up over balled fists for extra warmth, or can be taken off the thumb and pushed back onto wrists for eating or added dexterity.

The pattern can be found on page 115 of Craft magazine volume 10.

The stats:

Size: small, medium, large

Yarn: 60-80 yards of bulky or multiple strands held together

Needles: set of size US 11 double pointed

Gauge: 3 stitches/inch

Skills needed: knitting in the round, single cast-on, changing colors
