Rigel Mitts

Rigel is the brightest star in the constellation of Orion, captivating stargazers with its stunning blue-white glow. In celebration of this celestial beauty, we present a pair of exquisite mitts that you can easily knit at home. These mitts are designed to be knitted in the round, then worked flat for a convenient thumb hole before transitioning back to round knitting. This unique construction not only results in a delightful color shift but also allows each mitt to be versatile—perfectly fitting for either hand and easily wearable upside down.

The stitch pattern featured in this design is my Colorway Accented Stockinette, which beautifully showcases small bursts of color throughout the mitts. This pattern is particularly well-suited for colorways that have a dominant hue complemented by playful mini rainbows or speckles. Just like the Rigel Cowl, these mitts are a fantastic way to express your creativity and make use of vibrant yarns. Whether you’re preparing for colder weather or simply looking to add style to your outfit, this pattern offers a fun and fashionable solution. Unleash your inner designer and knit a pair of Rigel mitts that reflect your unique style!
