Discover the art of creating unique knitted accessories with our Working Ribbing on the Bias pattern. This mitt design features an eye-catching angled ribbing that not only looks stunning but is also surprisingly easy to make. The clever construction technique reverses the biased panel on both the front and back, resulting in an elegant slope on one side due to the strategic increases and decreases. Perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills and add a touch of originality to their wardrobe.

NEEDLES & NOTIONS: To begin your project, you will need US size 4 / 3.5 mm circular needles, ideally 32" / 80 cm long, suitable for either magic loop or double-pointed needle techniques. Remember, it’s essential to use a needle size that achieves the gauge listed in the pattern, as every knitter's tension and gauge can vary significantly. Additionally, gather your tapestry needle, stitch markers, and some waste yarn for a seamless crafting experience.
GAUGE: Achieve a perfect fit with a gauge of 34 stitches and 36 rows = 4"/10cm in Biased Ribbing, or 32 stitches and 36 rows = 4"/10cm in Ribbing.
