Helyx Fingerless Mitts

Introducing the Helyx Mitts, a quick and exciting knitting project that results in a truly unique accessory, perfect for anyone looking to stand out from the mainstream. These mitts are inspired by the fascinating structure of the DNA double helix, creating a beautiful spiral design that winds around the hand while leaving a small slit for the thumb. This unconventional construction method not only challenges your knitting skills but also keeps you entertained as you stitch.

The upper and lower openings of the Helyx Mitts are elegantly finished with an I-cord seam, providing a polished look that allows for easy wear and removal. The textured surface of these mitts adds an eye-catching element, ensuring they are not only functional but also a stylish addition to any outfit.

Errata: Please note that while preparing the spiral, Row 1 (wrong side) should actually be Row 1 (right side).
