Description ~ Mosaic Fingerless Mitts

The easygoing cousin of stranded colorwork, slip-stitch knitting is a fun and easy technique that brings more color into your work without the stranding or trapping of floats like Fair Isle, or fussiness of intarsia. We’ll knit up the Bow Tie Pasta Fingerless Mitts in DK weight yarn, discuss the different types of colorwork, how to read charts, mattress stitching, basic color theory, and finishing techniques. You’ll be addicted in no time!
