Bartender's Choice

After spending some delightful time in the Plucky Booth at VKlive, I was inspired to pair a few gorgeous skeins together for colorwork—especially for a quick and satisfying project like mitts. These beautiful fingerless mitts not only keep your hands warm but also serve as a canvas for your creative yarn selections.

The design features both the top and bottom of the mitts worked in simple stockinette stitch, allowing for easy knitting. However, the eye-catching stranded motif requires your attention for just 27 rounds in the middle section. I absolutely adore this motif—the intricate ovals and diamonds create a stunning visual effect and allow for an incredible transition between colors. Best of all, most of the design is worked with just two colors at a time, with only a small section in the center utilizing all three colors, making it manageable for knitters of various skill levels.

You have the flexibility to adjust the length of the mitts according to your preference, and I've also incorporated a little shaping in the hand area for a better fit. Customizing the stockinette portions is straightforward, enabling you to tailor the mitts for your unique style and comfort.

These charming mitts are not only a fantastic way to use up your partial skeins of yarn, but they also provide a perfect excuse to indulge in new yarn purchases and mix and match shades. Trust me, you'll find this pattern a bit addictive, as you may not be able to stop at just one pair!

The samples were crafted using Plucky Primo Sport yarn, but feel free to explore other recommended yarn substitutes to find the perfect match for your project. Embrace your creativity and start knitting these beautiful, functional mitts today!
