Multifaceted Mittens

Inspired by the stunning geometric shapes of natural crystals, these **Multifaceted Mittens** are a must-have accessory for any knitting enthusiast! Featuring an intricate all-over stranded design that seamlessly wraps around the hand, the mittens' pointed tops and thumbs beautifully echo the enchanting forms of colorwork gems, making them not just functional, but also a fashionable statement piece.

This versatile knitting pattern includes two options for the cuffs: **longer cuffs** that can be tucked snugly into your sleeves for extra warmth, and **shorter wrist-length cuffs** for those who prefer a more streamlined look. Plus, be on the lookout for an upcoming fingerless variation, known as **Multifaceted Mitts**, which will soon be available separately for those who enjoy the freedom of fingerless designs.

To create these eye-catching mittens, you will need skills in stranded knitting, working small circumferences in the round, reading from charts, and picking up stitches. Select your favorite **jewel tone** yarn and pair it with a lighter contrast color to craft your very own pair of crystal-inspired gauntlets that will dazzle and delight.

For the **short cuffs**, you will require approximately **106 yards/97 meters** of main color (MC) yarn and **130 yards/119 meters** of contrast color (CC) yarn. If you opt for the **long cuffs**, the yarn requirements increase slightly to **123 yards/112.5 meters** of MC and **150 yards/137 meters** of CC.

These mittens are designed to fit women’s medium hands, with a palm circumference measuring **7.5-8 inches (19-20.3 cm)**. The pattern includes helpful suggestions for altering the length to customize the fit to your preferences.

Elevate your winter wardrobe and keep your hands warm with these chic **Multifaceted Mittens.** Embrace your knitting skills and indulge in this captivating project that combines artistry and practicality!
