Discover your next favorite knitting project with the **Inverto Mitts**, a stunning sister pattern to my popular *Reversus* hat. These unique mitts are designed to be knit inside-out, allowing you to maximize the use of the knit stitch for a quick and easy crafting experience. With the exception of the exquisite lace panel, which is worked in purl, these mitts are a delight for knitters of various skill levels. Once you complete this project, simply turn your mitts inside-out to unveil the beautiful lace panel set against a backdrop of cozy reverse stocking stitch, creating a striking visual contrast that you’ll love to wear.
Designed specifically for **White Gum Wool 4ply**, this luxurious yarn is a lofty, 100% sustainable Australian merino wool that offers both comfort and warmth. Each skein is expertly hand-dyed by the renowned *Augustbird Yarns*, ensuring a vibrant and unique finish for every pair of mitts you create.
Skills Required
The Inverto Mitts are suitable for advanced beginners and intermediate knitters alike. To successfully complete this pattern, you should be familiar with essential knitting techniques, including knitting in the round, working twisted stitches, mastering increases and decreases, and creating yarn overs. The lace design is crafted on the purl side, so comfort and confidence in ‘reading’ your knitting is crucial for success.
