Inbezanty: A Beautifully Inspired Mosaic Byzantine Tile Stitch Pattern

Introducing Inbezanty, an exquisite knitting pattern that draws inspiration from the stunning mosaic tile designs of Byzantine art. This unique pattern seamlessly blends modern style with classic elegance, making it a perfect choice for knitters looking to elevate their accessory collection.

The Inbezanty mitts feature a charming striped garter stitch and an intricate mosaic band at the cuff. The body of the mitt, including a cleverly constructed thumb gusset, is worked in soft stocking stitch, while the thumb and hand edges are finished with a tidy garter stitch for a polished look.

This versatile knitting pattern provides separate instructions for both casting on from the cuff or beginning at the fingers (see the file suffixed with F), allowing you to choose the method that best suits your knitting style.

Designed to coordinate beautifully with the Anzetinby hat, the Inbezanty mitts create a cohesive and stylish winter ensemble that you’ll love to wear or give as gifts.

Sizes – The finished hand circumference is available in an array of sizes to fit everyone: XS 10cm/4 inches, S 14cm/5.5 inches, M 17.75cm/7 inches, and L 21.5cm/8.5 inches.

Materials – For this delightful project, you'll need 8 ply/DK weight yarn. Use Colour A in quantities ranging from 70-140 metres/80-150 yards and Colour B in smaller amounts of 10-20 metres/10-20 yards. Additionally, gather 3 stitch markers (or more, if you prefer marking out your pattern repeats), and have some waste yarn or a stitch holder handy for the thumb stitches.

This pattern is considered easy to intermediate, making it a delightful project for knitters with a bit of experience. However, please note that some attention will be needed for the thumb shaping section, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit.
