Arrows Mitts

These vibrant mitts, accompanied by a stylish pairing hat, were inspired by a captivating mural located on a school wall near my new home (yay!). The mural features an array of colorful arrows converging towards the center, bursting with a diverse explosion of hues. The marlisle technique employed in this design produces an intriguing result reminiscent of faded paint on walls, where the outlines of the shapes remain visible despite the passage of time.

Each mitt is meticulously crafted in the round, beginning with a striped garter stitch border that adds a pop of color and texture. The palm showcases the unique marlisle technique, skillfully incorporating a pointed-up arrow design on one hand and a complementary pointed-down arrow on the other. To enhance comfort and functionality, a thumb gusset is integrated, worked in stockinette and utilizing both colors harmoniously. This thoughtful detail ensures a perfect fit and eases movement.

Finally, each mitt is beautifully completed with a striped garter stitch finish, tying the entire piece together and providing a cohesive look. This knitting pattern not only highlights the engaging marlisle technique but also serves as a creative outlet for knitters of all skill levels. Embrace the joy of knitting with these striking mitts that celebrate color and design, perfect for any wardrobe or gift-giving occasion!
